The NFL Makes Recycling Priority In This Years Big Game

Did you watch the Super Bowl yesterday?  Chances are you did, as the big game reportedly had 96.9 million viewers.  This year, the National Football League made efforts to create an environmentally friendly game.

For the first time in Super Bowl history, food waste was collected on game day for composting and to be used as biodiesel to power generators.  The materials went to a giant compactor and then were transported to a local facility to be processed.  The final product can be used for landscaping.  Used cooking oil was used to process biodiesel fuel that was used in generators to power Super Bowl Boulevard in New York City.  This 13-block party featured entertainment in the days leading up to the Super Bowl.  The NFL also planted trees near the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey to offset carbon emissions.

But the recycling efforts didn't stop there!  In the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl, the NFL sponsored e-waste recycling events and collected 9,000 pounds of old phones, computers and gadgets.  Now that the game is over, the NFL plans on donating miles of fabric signage to non-profits and other groups for re-purposing.

For their tremendous recycling efforts, we commend the National Football League.  To learn more about the NFL's recycling initiative, click here.
