After four years of collaboration between the Kansas City Chiefs, BASF, Aramark and Hampton Farms, Arrowhead Stadium became the first-ever professional sports venue to sell a pre-packaged compostable peanut bag this season.
The compostable peanut bag made its debut at the Bills game on November 26th being sold throughout general concessions and in-seat vending.
The idea for Arrowhead to sell a compostable peanut bag formed after the Chiefs Vice President of Stadium Operations Brandon Hamilton attended a Green Sports Alliance summit in 2013.
Hamilton saw a presentation by BASF, a chemical manufacture, where they had developed a compostable peanut bag that was only sustainable for one day during the Seattle Mariners’ green week.
