To support their commitment to sustainability, Newcastle United FC has implemented a comprehensive waste management program across all club sites.

This program is supported by O’Brien Skips, a leading provider of waste management services.

Key strategies of Newcastle United’s waste management program include:

  • Separate Collections: Food, cardboard, glass, and mixed recyclables are collected separately to maximise recycling efficiency.
  • 100% Landfill Diversion: All general waste is sent to Energy from Waste (EfW) facilities, achieving zero waste in landfills. In 2022, 34% of waste was recycled, and 66% was processed at the Ferrybridge EfW facility operated by Effinium.
  • Confidential Paper Waste: Collected separately, shredded, and recycled to ensure data security and environmental responsibility.
  • Cardboard, Plastic, and Glass Recycling: These materials are separated at the source and recycled to maximise resource recovery.
  • Food Waste Composting: Designated bins are used for food waste, which is then composted to reduce landfill impact.

The club has adopted digital solutions to minimise waste further:

  • QR Codes: They are used on match days to display competitions and menus on mobile phones, reducing paper usage.
  • Digital Match Day Programs: These are available through an annual subscription, and paper programs are still offered for those who prefer them.
  • Digital Ticketing: This is set to be introduced for the 2023/24 season, significantly reducing paper usage. E-ticketing for season tickets has already been implemented, reducing the amount of paper generated.
