CHARLOTTE, NC, Feb. 19, 2025 – Coca-Cola Consolidated is continuing its commitment to environmental responsibility by collaborating with Tepper Sports & Entertainment (TSE) to expand front-of-house recycling solutions at Bank of America Stadium. The Company worked with TSE to identify opportunities to optimize waste disposal and encourage guests to recycle aluminum and plastic bottles. As a result, 84 additional recycling containers were recently installed in designated hospitality areas on the 300 and 400 levels just in time for the Charlotte FC home opener on March 1 at 2 p.m.
The installation of recycling containers adds to the recycling bins that are already stationed in the concourses, suites and other hospitality areas at Bank of America Stadium. A number of recycling containers are paired with a trash container to help guests properly dispose of their waste.
“As Charlotte’s local Coca-Cola bottler and the official beverage provider for Charlotte FC and the Carolina Panthers, we are thrilled to expand eco-friendly practices at Bank of America Stadium,” said Esther Moberly, Sustainability Senior Manager for Coca-Cola Consolidated. “Together, we’re taking important steps to increase recycling capture and ensure that sustainability becomes a seamless part of the fan experience.”
By increasing capture in the recycling efforts at Bank of America Stadium, Coca-Cola Consolidated and TSE are creating efficiencies in ensuring recyclable materials are properly sorted and processed for reuse.
“Sustainability is important to Tepper Sports & Entertainment, and we’re continuously looking for ways to enhance our efforts,” said Joe Flannigan, Senior Director of Engineering and Sustainability at Tepper Sports & Entertainment. “Through our collaboration with Coca-Cola Consolidated, we’ve been able to identify and implement meaningful recycling solutions that make it easier for fans to do their part. Every step forward is an opportunity to create a more sustainable future for Bank of America Stadium and our community.”
Coca-Cola Consolidated and Tepper Sports & Entertainment are committed to ongoing sustainability efforts that strive to make a lasting impact on both the local community and the environment. The containers will be available for all future events at Bank of America Stadium, including Carolina Panthers games, Charlotte FC matches, concerts and other programming.
