Subaru Park Sustainability Efforts

Subaru Park became the first zero landfill soccer stadium in MLS by reducing, reusing and recycling more than 90% of its waste with the remaining waste converted to energy, thereby putting nothing into landfills.

The Garden for Good is a local organic community garden at Subaru Park maintained by the Pennsylvania Horticulture Society and Subaru employee volunteers that provides fresh produce for local food banks.

Tork provides sustainable hygiene products such as hand towels, hand soap and sanitizer, napkins, and toilet paper to Subaru Park. Tork is the professional hygiene brand of leading global hygiene and health company Essity.

Burns Company has grown to become the Delaware Valley’s only comprehensive waste recycling and recovery facility. Recycling and sustainability guide the company’s vision. Burns takes immense pride in offering innovative products and solutions to benefit their clients and no product is more innovative than the TOMMY cart.
