WM is honored to be serving as the first sustainability-focused partner of Major League Baseball™. Together we are driving sustainability efforts in big-league ballparks and throughout communities across North America.
Since becoming the official sustainability partner in April 2024, WM has launched game day initiatives to increase community involvement, cut food waste and expand recycling education.
All Clubs have access to sustainability advisory services. Clubs are paired with a dedicated team from a nationwide network of sustainability advisors who provide industry-specific expertise on how to measure, manage and improve sustainability performance.
In addition to recycling items like bottles, cans, cardboard, and paper, WM is helping the League and its Clubs to expand the materials they collect and recycle at the ballpark. Additional recycling streams that have been added across several stadiums include thin plastics, textiles, batteries and e-waste.
The MLBTM All-Star Game® presented by Mastercard, Postseason games and additional league events are supported with virtual and on-the-ground advisory support. Over the past two seasons, 250+ Green Team volunteers have been brought in to help with recycling at these events.
Fans have received fun recycling education that shows them how to properly dispose of common items and gives a behind-the-scenes look at how those items are recycled and used to create new products.
