Liverpool FC announces new partnership as it 'goes green' at Anfield and other city sites

The European Champions are looking to improve their environmental impact

Liverpool FC has announced a new partnership to reduce food waste and deliver on sustainability goals at its stadium and infrastructure across the city.

The European Champions said they have "gone green" after announcing the new partnership with Iugis in Europe and Australia - using Iugis’ food waste solution, recycling food waste by breaking it down into water.

As part of its Reds Go Green initiative to become more environmentally friendly, the North West club have installed Iugis’ innovative organic food digester machines at Anfield Stadium.

These use microorganisms and oxygen to transform food waste into water on site, reducing the need for off-site transport and diverting it from landfill.

Billy Hogan, managing director and chief commercial officer, Liverpool FC, said: “We’re committed to becoming more environmentally friendly and have made positive strides towards becoming a truly sustainable club.

"This partnership with Iugis is another step towards meeting this goal and will help us better manage our food waste.”

The club said that over the past few years, its initiative has had a "significant effect" on improving the club’s environmental impact and fostering greater sustainability.

It added that positive steps have been made to reduce single-use plastic, along with the development of the LFC allotment in Marlborough Road, where food is grown to serve supporters on match day.
