Behavioural Science Insights

Why active classrooms prevail where posters fail.

Passive education, such as assemblies and wall posters, fails to change daily habits. Research shows that interactive, “learning-by-doing” programmes result in up to 5.0× higher behavioural retention than passive learning.

Rethink Australia embeds computer vision guidance directly at the point of disposal, converting routine waste into an active learning moment that builds permanent default habits.
