We are excited to announce the
2022-23 ReMA Recycling Contest Winners!
The 2022-23 contest theme challenged young learners to tell a story of a previous life of a product made from recycled materials and explain how the creation of this product is the key to sustainability and why it matters. We received over 160 submissions from students all across the country! On behalf of JASON Learning and ReMA, thank you students and teachers for the incredible work that went into each and every submission. See the poster and video winners, and honorable mentions below!
