All waste is collected and sorted on site by a dedicated cleaning and sustainability team. We separate our waste into 15 different waste streams at Sky Stadium, ensuring we can divert as much waste from landfill as possible. In 2023 we have been able to divert more than 70% of event waste away from landfill, and at the recent Foo Fighters concert in January 2024, 90% of waste was diverted from landfill.
Our aim is to divert over 80% of stadium and event waste from landfill. To help us reach this goal, we use local recycling, compost, and resource recovery facilities to divert waste and disused items, such as signage, event waste, furniture, and scrap metal from ending up in the local landfill.
All food serveware from our public food and beverage outlets is compostable. These items are collected, along with food scraps, after every event and are sent to Capital Compost, where it is turned into premium compost for your garden.
Fans are encouraged to bring their own refillable water bottles to events which they can fill up at over 10 water-refill stations around the stadium.
We work closely with our hirers and stadium stakeholders to ensure their event delivery and marketing practices align with our own sustainability goals.
