30 Under 30

The Recycled Materials Association (ReMA) and Recycling Today are excited for the return of the 30 Under 30 awards, highlighting young professionals working in the recycled materials industry.

Our industry needs young professionals, laborers, technicians and tradespeople, and, once again, this class has representation from all these important fields.

Nominations were open to employees of ReMA member companies only, underscoring the association’s commitment to professional growth while highlighting opportunities the organization provides for networking, professional development and industry engagement.

ReMA’s Young Executive Council, working in concert with Recycling Today team members, managed the award selection process, ensuring the recognition is peer-reviewed and merit-based.

The 2025 class is featured in the following pages and also will be highlighted on the ReMA and Recycling Today websites as well as at Scrap Expo 2025.

This program continues to help showcase the incredible contributions young people are making across the industry, highlight the wide range of career paths available within the industry and recognize the future of the recycled materials industry.

Please take some time to read about these wonderful young people. If you know them, congratulate them on this tremendous recognition.
