Oriole Park at Camden Yard

• For remodeling projects, materials and construction waste were tracked (59% of the materials purchased for the stadium remodels were sustainable materials, 74% of the construction waste was recycled.)
• OPACY diverts more than just every day waste from the landfill. A field renovation produced 744 tons of sod, 100% of it was composted into reusable topsoil. MSA partners with FiltaFry to recycle cooking oil, 20,133 gallons of oil was recycled. OPACY hosts an annual community shred event, over 44,000lbs of paper were recycled, the equivalent of saving 340+ trees.
• Comprehensive green cleaning program results in 31% sustainable cleaning products
• Oriole Park at Camden Yards donates 46,285 pounds of food to the Maryland Food Bank

M&T Bank Stadium

• The stadium recycles 31% of its regular waste and is working to increase this percentage.
• All purchases for M&T Bank Stadium follow the Sustainable Purchasing Policy to include recycled, renewable and Energy Star-labeled products for the building.
• 38% of M&T Bank Stadium staff use alternative transportation to work, contributing to the stadium’s carbon footprint reduction of 123,070 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year.
• The stadium’s efficient irrigation system and adaptive vegetation reduces 30% of its potable water for outside irrigation.

Jana will walk us through the facilities highlighting the systems and procedures that ensure the stadium complex minimizes the generation of waste and keeps its carbon footprint as small as possible by putting all three “Rs” to work.
