Abstract

This paper examines how digital innovation enhances environmental sustainability education by transforming waste-related learning into meaningful, future-ready competencies. Through digital fabrication, data-driven tools, and experiential design, students develop creativity, systems thinking, and technological proficiency aligned with emerging green industry demands. The discussion highlights the need for institutional support and teacher readiness to ensure effective integration of technology in sustainability learning. Ultimately, digital innovation empowers learners to develop environmentally responsible, industry-relevant solutions that prepare them for a rapidly evolving global workforce.
