The Ohio State University Department of Athletics and Business Advancement continues to set the standard for sustainability in collegiate sports, earning its fifth consecutive Green Sports Alliance Play to Zero Waste Champion Award.
FOD's Logan Gould, Zero Waste Coordinator, and Meredith Laidly, Resource Stewardship Coordinator, accepted the award on behalf of Ohio State during the 2026 Green Sports Alliance Summit.
"Receiving this recognition for the fifth consecutive year reflects the strong foundation and collaboration that have helped Ohio State become a leader in sustainability and zero waste," said Gould.
The Zero Waste Program is supported by Ohio State Athletics and Business Advancement, FOD, Levy Restaurants, Ohio Penal Industries, Price Farms Organics, Rumpke, Naval ROTC, LYFE Savers, Ohio State student interns, and thousands of Buckeye fans working together to reduce landfill waste.
