The Kansas City Chiefs football team is going the extra yard by scoring a major victory for the environment. Thanks to a collaboration between BASF, Aramark, and Hampton Farms, BASF reports that Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, MO, has become the first-ever professional sports venue to sell a prepacked compostable peanut bag.
The compostable peanut bag is part of the Chiefs’ environmental initiative, Extra Yard for the Environment, which is designed to devise and implement new green policies for the Chiefs, while also raising awareness for sustainability efforts at Arrowhead Stadium. Debuting at the November 26, 2017 game, the compostable peanut bag is being sold throughout general concessions and in-seat vending, with the goal of expanding to other areas of Arrowhead Stadium following the pilot phase.
