OUR MISSION

At Youth Sustainability Leaders, our mission is to inspire and empower young individuals to take action for a sustainable future. Led by dedicated students, we focus on recycling initiatives that make a tangible difference in our communities.

 

Join us as we work together to reduce plastic waste and promote environmental stewardship.

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.
