Supporting Green Football’s Great Save | OneFootball

We are inviting fans attending Sunday’s Barclays Women's Super League match against Brighton & Hove Albion Women to join us in supporting this year’s Green Football campaign drive to save old sports kit from landfill.

Collections will take place before kick-off (3pm) at Brisbane Road this Sunday 16 March at the following locations:

West Stand, Ground Level, Block C (next to the performing DJ) – advised for those seated in blocks A, B or C.

Leyton Orient Reception (entrance off Oliver Road) – advised for those seated in blocks D, E or F.

Donation banks will accept any kind of sports kit, including football boots and trainers. Items donated will be distributed to The Salvation Army to be sold in their UK shops – anything unsold will be recycled into materials for new products.

Items will also be donated to the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation for use in community programmes and to the London Academy of Excellence Tottenham, a state funded Sixth Form delivered with the financial support of the Club, to be used in their weekly upcycling club where students learn how to reinvent clothing and upholstery.

Green Football is the world’s leading football climate campaign and uses the power of the game to tackle climate change and protect nature, creating a nationwide moment that unites fans, clubs, players and partners in raising awareness and taking action.

This year’s theme, “The Great Save”, looks at how we can donate, swap or upcycle old kit. Every year, an estimated 100,000 tonnes of sportswear ends up in UK landfills – keeping kit in play for just nine more months can reduce its environmental impact by up to 30%.

We have consistently been named as the Premier League’s greenest club following studies carried out by BBC Sport and the UN-backed Sport Positive Summit.

We are a signatory of the UN Sports for Climate Action Framework, committing us to halving carbon emissions by 2030 and becoming net zero by 2040, and recently we became the first Premier League club to join the UN-backed Sports for Nature Framework, which aims to deliver transformative nature-positive action across sport.

Last year, the Club achieved the ISO 20121 standard for sustainable event management – underlining our commitment to our minimising environmental impact across all operations.
