Established in 2015, Recycle Lebanon is a trailblazing Lebanese NGO on a mission to catalyse systemic change through creative ecology. We steward an interconnected approach to tackle the cross-sectorial ecology crisis.
Recycle Lebanon stewards a holistic and action-oriented approach, tackling the cross-sectorial ecology crisis through four interconnected programmes emphasising social justice, access to data, conscious consumption, creative residency and agroecology bio-design alternatives.
We aim to model a circular economy and demonstrate the viability of regenerative practices to inspire others with practical, and hands-on examples to join us in growing a circular future.
