Knoxville, Tennessee, United States / November 12, 2022

Eastman has been a partner since day one of the University of Tennessee’s Good Sports Always Give Back program, helping bring recycling to UT’s campus. 2022 marked the 30-year anniversary of the Good Sports program and to celebrate, Eastman challenged all Tennessee Vol fans to set a world record for recycling on November 12th, when the Vols played the Missouri Tigers.

At the end of the day, a new world record was achieved with 38,452.2 pounds of waste reused or recycled. Every plastic, aluminum, and paper product dropped into the Good Sports Always Recycle recycling bins on campus and in Neyland Stadium helped Eastman and the University of Tennessee set the world record for the World’s Largest College Recycling Event. This record also included recycling cardboard, and wooden pallets, and repurposing food (via food banks or composting) involved in the setup, breakdown, and in-stadium concessions from game day.

- Must be a one-day event
- Material directly attributable to the event itself

    What an incredible achievement for the University of Tennessee and Eastman! Setting a world record for recycling during such a spirited event showcases the power of community and environmental responsibility. It's inspiring to see fans come together not just for the love of the game, but also to make a positive impact on the planet. Here's to many more years of innovative initiatives like the Good Sports Always Give Back escape road program—truly a win-win for everyone involved!
