REMADE is pleased to share that rStream, an Institute member, and Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., have announced a partnership to modernize waste management after matches, concerts, and other major events.
Through the partnership, rStream's AI-powered sorting system now processes the stadium's full waste stream on-site, separating recyclables, compostable materials, and trash with approximately 99% accuracy.
The partnership supports Gillette Stadium's ongoing commitment to operational excellence and sustainability by transforming one of the most labor-intensive behind-the-scenes operations into a more efficient, data-driven process.
Large, high-traffic venues generate tons of mixed waste during a single event, much of which has traditionally been sorted manually after guests leave. The process is labor-intensive, physically demanding, and often limits how much material can ultimately be recycled or composted.
At Gillette Stadium, rStream's system automates that process by moving waste across conveyor belts where AI-powered cameras identify materials and precision sorting actuators separate them into recycling, compost, and trash streams within 24 hours of each event. Recyclable and organic materials are recovered, and the remaining post-sorted waste is sent to waste-to-energy facilities.
