In Miami, biodegradable food packaging company Footprint is among the vendors chosen for the city’s upcoming Super Bowl festivities.

Miami Super Bowl Host Committee (MSBHC) says Footprint’s renewable fiber food packaging will be featured in the Super Bowl LIVE Environmental Village, which is free to the public January 25 through February 1 and will showcase two innovative exhibits of plastic-free food ware products. The partnership is in line with the recent announcement of the Miami Dolphins and Hard Rock Stadium to significantly reduce or eliminate single-use plastics from all sporting events.

“Footprint is on a mission to eliminate single-use plastic,” says Troy Swope, Footprint CEO and cofounder. “Our recent survey found that 81% of consumers believe companies have an obligation to design packaging that addresses health and environmental concerns.”

The game, which marks the culmination of the National Football League’s 100th season, will air Sunday, February 2.
