Alcoa AA +2.16% will be at Super Bowl XLVI this Sunday in Indianapolis, Ind., in more ways than one. The award-winning Lucas Oil Stadium, host site of the Super Bowl football game, features several products made by Alcoa's Kawneer architectural aluminum products business. Alcoa Foundation is also contributing to the big game by helping the City of Indianapolis "go-green" by encouraging football fans to recycle their aluminum beverage cans.
Every visitor--including the lucky 67,000 fans with Super Bowl tickets--will pass through Kawneer's 500 Tuffline(R) brand entrances as they go into the stadium. The Kawneer brand of frames, doors and hardware is designed to withstand high-traffic areas. In addition, more than 225,000 square feet of Kawneer's curtain wall, which uses glass extensively, provides spectators with a magnificent view of the Indianapolis skyline from their seats.
Kawneer's mark on Lucas Oil Stadium continues on the interior, where even more entrances and curtain wall systems are featured, as well as Kawneer sliding doors. These recyclable aluminum architectural products were produced at Alcoa plants in Springdale, Arkansas; Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania; and Visalia, California.
While Kawneer products have helped with the design of the stadium, Alcoa Foundation is making sure fans have a place to recycle their aluminum beverage cans. Through an Alcoa Foundation grant, the Indiana Recycling Coalition has been working closely with the 2012 Super Bowl Environmental Programs Committee to "keep score" on recycling. In addition, the investment has enabled the coalition to purchase recycling bins and place them throughout the stadium and other public venues, making it easy for people to dispose of their recyclable aluminum containers responsibly. After the game, the bins will be donated to non-profit groups and youth sports programs in Indiana.
The Alcoa Foundation's investment focuses on increasing awareness about the infinite recyclability of aluminum beverage cans, while also encouraging greater awareness about recycling "away from home" and "at home" while watching Super Bowl XLVI. The aluminum cans collected and recycled this weekend in Indianapolis and across the U.S. will be back on store shelves in 60 days as new aluminum beverage cans.
