ISRI and JASON Learning are seeking submissions from students in grades K-12 for their annual Youth Recycling Contest. GCR members can help by encouraging K-12 students in their circle to enter this worthwhile contest!
This year’s contest theme is “Design for Recycling®.” Entrants are tasked with enhancing an existing consumer product using Design for Recycling® principles. The focus of the contest is to maximize recyclability, reduce costs, eliminate hazardous materials, and minimize time and environmental impact in the recycling process.
Student may choose to create either a poster/infographic or a two-minute video showcasing their improved product and explaining the enhancements made using Design for Recycling® principles.
The contest is open to students living in the United States and Canada who are enrolled in grades K-12 in the 2023–2024 school year. Students can enter the contest as individuals or as a team with up to four members. Click HERE for the contest’s complete rules and guidelines.
