## Resource

The FIFA World Cup’s temporary grass field in Vancouver is being dismantled and recycled—yes, the real turf grown in Abbotsford by Bos Sod is being broken down, with synthetic fibers recycled and organic material composted back into local soil. BC Place is pushing sustainability, aiming for 99% of the material to return to earth, while also exploring recycling other World Cup leftovers—all before the BC Lions reclaim the pitch for their July 25th kickoff.
