How to win big with a recycling challenge.

Sporting event attendees generate about 39 million pounds of trash every year in the U.S., according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. You can think of that as a lot of waste — or tons of potential. At Eastman, we created a way to turn that potential into a recycling world record.

In the fall of 2022, we issued an epic challenge to Tennessee Volunteer fans, Neyland Stadium concessions and other vendors. We called on them to recycle every piece of plastic, aluminum and paper product (plus behind-the-scenes cardboard, pallets and food waste) used on campus on a single game day.
