Overview
property Wide Waste & Recycling Bins
Max-R partnered with the newly constructed US Bank Stadium to outfit their entire facility with waste and recycle bins. In conjunction with US Bank Stadium, Max-R designed several bins customized to the needs of each specific location within the facility and the waste streams required for those areas.
Discovery
- Newly-Constructed Stadium
- Bins Needed for Entire Property
- Future Organic Waste Collection Desired
After the initial consultation and in order to make the goals set in place by US Bank Stadium a reality, the Max-R ideation team went to work in conceiving the best solution to the pain points addressed.
Concept
In addition to their current needs and waste streams, Max-R took into account the Stadium’s desire for future compost collection and designed a bin that would easily transition to collect trash, recycling and compost to meet the team’s current and future sustainability goals.
- Interchangeable Lids for Future Streams
- Bins Designed for Custom Stadium Needs
Visualization
The Max-R design team crafted a 3D rendering with all of the desired customization along with the concept of future-proofed bins. Once the configurations, graphics, and colors are approved by the US Bank Stadium team, Max-R’s team of engineers drafted functioning proofs for final sign-off.
The Results
With the inclusion of labels and interchangeable graphics from Recycle Across America, US Bank Stadium became the first sports stadium to have achieved a Zero Waste Super Bowl with 91% of waste diverted from landfills.
