YOUTH SUSTAINABILITY
RECYCLING CHALLENGE
We are proud to lead our Lower Merion Recycling
Challenge, an initiative that transforms plastic waste into beautiful, sustainable outdoor furniture.
For every 1,000 pounds of plastic collected from our community, NexTrex will recycle that plastic into a sustainable bench to benefit our local centers, parks and libraries. Every piece of plastic we collect brings us closer to a cleaner environment and a more sustainable future. Contact us for help in setting up your own recycling challenge at your school or community center.
