WESTMINSTER, Colo.,
Feb. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/
-- Ball Corporation is back helping us all celebrate our
favorite teams in the Big Game this year – bigger, better and
bolder. The company and its partners are continuing to drive
awareness about the importance of aluminum recycling and
sustainability on the field and off the field. Whether you're
watching the Big Game at home, at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, or wherever the watch parties
take you, Ball is here to remind you – you can cheer on your
favorite team sustainably.
The Big Game is one of the largest days of the year that folks
gather and connect and that often requires the convenience of
disposable cups. What you choose to drink out of matters. Aluminum
cans, bottles and cups like the Ball Aluminum Cup™ are the most
sustainable option because they can be easily recycled.
The infinitely recyclable Ball Aluminum Cup™ or canned beverages
are the perfect way to make your watch party good for the planet.
For those celebrating the Big Game at home, you can stock up on the
aluminum cups on Amazon and in select grocery retailers and mass
merchandisers. Ball designed its lightweight aluminum cups to bring
beverage packaging circularity to sports and entertainment venues
in response to growing consumer preference for more sustainable
products.
Find Ball Cups across Santa
Monica and Los Angeles
Ball is bringing its aluminum cups to southern California and kicking off a series of events
and activations this weekend to help fans celebrate
sustainably, including the Rams Tailgate Tour and the Chargers
Bolts Experience at the 3rd Street Promenade in
Santa Monica. As the official
Infinitely Recyclable Aluminum Packaging Partner of the Los
Angeles Rams and a Proud
Sustainability Partner of the Los Angeles Chargers, Ball will
supply infinitely recyclable aluminum cups on-site and activate
Team Aluminum, a group of on-site ambassadors who make recycling
easy by collecting recyclables using backpacks. In Downtown LA,
Ball is mixing up a signature cocktail with the Los Angeles Rams
and serving them to guests in the aluminum cups at Penthouse56, the
Rams Hospitality House.
For the third consecutive year, Ball is also teaming up with Bud
Light to bring the Ball Aluminum Cup™ to fans at SoFi Stadium
during the Big Game and at the Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest.
We're proud to continue working with our partners to advance our
broader commitment to educate fans on aluminum recycling, inspire
communities to make sustainability a cornerstone of their everyday
lifestyles, and help organizations and teams reach their
sustainability goals.
"Ball is committed to helping venues, teams and fans minimize
the significant environmental impact of sports and entertainment by
strengthening in-venue recycling and providing innovative and
infinitely recyclable aluminum cans, cups and bottles – a
sustainable alternative to the millions of plastic cups that are
disposed of every year," said Dan
Fisher, President and CEO-elect of Ball Corporation.
"We're excited to continue advancing these efforts around the Big
Game in collaboration with partners that want to make a positive
and lasting difference for the environment."
Ball's presence around this year's Big Game comes after the
company's Big Game efforts at Raymond James Stadium in 2021 and in
2020, when the aluminum cups were part of Hard Rock Stadium's
initiative to phase out 99.4% of single-use plastics that year.
This year, Ball builds on its existing partnership with SoFi
Stadium and partnerships with other like-minded sports teams,
concessionaires and venues – including Ball Arena in Denver and Emirates Stadium in London – which are founded on a shared vision
to advance sustainability in sports and entertainment and bring
fans an environmentally friendly way to enjoy their favorite
beverages.
Infinitely recyclable and economically valuable, aluminum is the
most sustainable beverage packaging material, and like aluminum
cans, aluminum cups can be easily recycled. In fact, 75 percent of
the aluminum ever produced is still in use today and aluminum cans,
cups and bottles can be recycled and back on a store shelf within
60 days The aluminum cup is lightweight, sturdy, cool to the touch
and provides an elevated drinking experience. It also can be
customized with logos and graphics, as it will be for the Big
Game.
