Major sporting events moving towards sustainability

The big story this week is the Lionesses’ victory in the UEFA Women’s Euro 2022 for the first time.  🙌⚽


Also for the first time at a major football match, UEFA have implemented biodegradable packaging made from seaweed at all vendors in Wembley Stadium to reduce the carbon footprint of the final.
