Reconomy has helped Wolves Foundation to bring a school sustainability project to life by transforming recycled plastics collected at Molineux Stadium into a new bench for pupils at St Mary’s Primary School in Albrighton.
As a proud Pack Patron to Wolves Foundation, Reconomy was delighted to provide circular economy expertise and support to deliver the project that was proposed by pupils taking part in a sustainability challenge through the Foundation’s Premier League Primary Stars programme.
The winning idea saw students challenge themselves to find a practical way to reduce waste generated on Wolves matchdays. To help turn the concept into reality, Reconomy collected, segregated and recycled plastic waste generated during Wolves’ final home game of the 2025/26 season, which was then used to manufacture the durable outdoor bench.

Approximately 60 kilograms of clean, recyclable matchday plastics were used in the production of the bench. It is wonderful to find a reuse solution for these plastics that prevents them from becoming waste, provides the school with a valuable new resource, and celebrates its commitment to sustainability and circularity.

This particular challenge, which we delivered as part of our Premier League Primary Stars programme, produced so many fantastic projects about recycling and protecting the environment, alongside a great morning spent at Molineux. What is also so worthwhile about this particular initiative is that not only did we have such a positive event with so many brilliant ideas, but that the winning proposal was then taken on and has actually been produced. That it was Reconomy, one of our Foundation pack patrons, who then brought the idea to life with the bench now taking pride of place at St Mary’s, once again shows the strength of partnership working and the considerable social value of the project.

One strand of this work is delivered through the Premier League Primary Stars programme, which is where the St Mary’s Primary School plastic-collection project originated — giving pupils a hands-on route into sustainability and circular economy thinking.
