Wembley Stadium connected by EE developed a unique process to make its famous pitch 100% recyclable. The project is believed to be a first in the world of football. It is the result of a meticulous two-year plan to find a suitable solution to recycling modern-day football pitches, which are a hybrid of grass and synthetic plastic. Working with its partners Hewitts Sports Turf and Circular 11, the team at Wembley Stadium created a process to extract the plastic from the pitch, wash it and repurpose the material into a moldable material. The initial development saw the recycled plastic used to create a bench now placed within the stadium. Since then, a further 25 benches, 6 garden planters and 3 bespoke items have been designed and built, with another 25 benches to follow in January 2025.
