nib Stadium

nib Stadium has launched a new public place recycling system to encourage the thousands of patrons onsite each year to do the right thing.

All events at nib Stadium including homes games for the Perth Glory, Emirates Western Force, WA Reds, and when playing in Perth, South Sydney Rabbitohs, will now have the new recycling systems in place.

The launch of the recycling systems has also timed well with the start of the concert summer season, which sees artists including Leonard Cohen, the Eagles and environmentally conscious Jack Johnson perform at nib Stadium.

Funded by the Packaging Stewardship Forum (PSF) of the Australian Food and Grocery Council in partnership with nib Stadium, 140 waste and recycling bins carrying the PSF's Do The Right Thing Use The Right Bin message are now available for fans and concert goers to do the right thing and recycle their bottles and cans.

This initiative will help nib Stadium recycle around 60 tonnes of bottles and cans from more than 31 annual events - enough to fill more than 96,000 wheelie bins every year!

CEO of nib Stadium, Peter Bauchop, said "We are very pleased to have the support of the PSF in a move to make nib Stadium a more environmentally friendly and conscious stadium."

General Manager of the PSF Jenny Pickles says the aim of the program is to get people recycling just as effectively out and about as they do when they're at home using their kerbside collection systems.

"Through well placed infrastructure, good promotion and our message of Do the Right Thing, Use the Right Bin we have shown we can deliver effective away from home recycling systems in public places, with minimal contamination."

nib Stadium is one of many well known sporting stadia that are participating in the PSF's away from home recycling program for stadia, with installations already completed at the WACA, Suncorp, Skilled Park, Ballymore and the GABBA stadia in Brisbane, Dairy Farmers Stadium in Townsville, Exhibition Park in Canberra and Bellerive Oval and Aurora Stadium in Tasmania.
