Bayern receive the Resuable Award for their reusable drinks containers at home

FC Bayern München have received the Resuable Award from the European REUSE Conference for its switch to reusable drinks containers for home matches at the Allianz Arena.

The award ceremony took place this Thursday at the end of the REUSE Conference in Brussels, organised by Environmental Action Germany (DUH), the European Federation of Associations of Beer and Beverages Wholesalers (CEGROBB), the German Association of Private Breweries and the Reloop platform. It is the first time the prize has been awarded. The aim is to reward sustainable solutions that protect the climate and strengthen the principle of reusable packaging as a social standard.

FC Bayern have been a member of the Bavarian Climate-Alliance since 2015. The switch to reusable drinks containers was also organised with the help of the Bavarian Ministry of the Environment. Jürgen Muth, managing director of Allianz Arena München Stadion GmbH, accepted the Reusable Award on behalf of FC Bayern. In his acceptance speech, Muth also highlighted the development of LED technology, which has already enabled enormous savings potential in the area of lighting.
