Austin’s professional soccer club is doing its part to promote sustainability and zero-waste initiatives in the city and surrounding communities.
Q2 Stadium, Austin FC’s home venue, recently earned Total Resource Use and Efficiency (TRUE) Gold certification. As such, the stadium is the first soccer-specific stadium to become a zero-waste venue.
Previously, the Austin City Council announced a citywide zero-waste goal of reducing the amount of trash sent to landfills by 90% by 2040. Q2 Stadium advances this goal and, ultimately, could make Austin a greener city than ever before.
