In 2012 at the age of 3, Ryan went along with his dad to the local recycling center and cashed in a few small bags of cans and bottles and decided that recycling was in his future, leading to the start of Ryan's Recycling. In 2020, he founded Project3R, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to recycling and environmental awareness/education around the world. Project3R hosts environmental cleanups and educational programs for students.
