National Recycling Video & Poster Contest

Sponsored by ReMA, in partnership with JASON Learning

With a goal to better educate students on the value of recycled materials, ReMA urges all its members to get involved by encouraging youth to participate. Reach out to your local schools, community centers, scouting associations, and other groups, and share the contest on your social media feeds. Serve as an industry ambassador and good neighbor and support this contest.

2024-25 Youth Recycling Contest

The challenge was to create an advertisement for these three principles around recycling. Students must provide examples learned from their research to explain how recycling is building opportunities for each of these terms: Sustainable, Resilient, and Essential.

The grand prize-winning students of the Youth Recycling Contest, along with their parent/guardian and teacher, will have earned a trip to the ReMA National Convention in sunny San Diego, CA, on May 12-15, 2025!

The video and poster grand champions will receive their awards as well as have the honor of showcasing their phenomenal work to thousands of recyclers from around the world.
