GLENDALE, AZ — The Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee has announced Gilbert-based Footprint as the official "green" partner for Super Bowl LVII in Glendale.
Footprint, which has been on a mission to create a healthier planet by eliminating single-use plastics, will provide plant-based fiber products, such as plates, cups and utensils, as well as create educational opportunities to learn about the importance of eliminating single-use plastics at events in the months leading up to the Super Bowl.
“Partnering with the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee will showcase the state as a hub for innovation and how events like the Super Bowl can be done with sustainability at the forefront,” Troy Swope, Footprint's CEO and co-founder said in a statement. “The Super Bowl and adjacent events will put our company on the international stage to show what’s possible beyond single-use plastics and give fans the opportunity to experience Footprint’s eco-friendly, plant-based products — demonstrating that people don’t have to sacrifice the environment to enjoy sporting and entertainment events.”
