FIBA scores big in sustainability with trophy made of recycled materials

The trophy was designed by Sustain Awards, and is constructed using sustainable methods and techniques, utilising 100% recycled waste packaging.

This approach reduces the trophy's carbon dioxide production by 75% compared to a standard trophy, throughout the manufacturing process - including materials, packaging, and transport.

The process also compensates for five tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2e), the equivalent of taking 397 cars off the road for one day.

"This trophy serves as a fitting symbol of FIBA 3x3's dedication to reducing our carbon footprint, and we take pride in being one of the pioneers in introducing such an environmentally-friendly trophy," said FIBA 3x3 Managing Director Alex Sanchez.

"It represents a significant step forward in FIBA 3x3's commitment to sustainability and innovation. We share our players and fans’ concerns about the well-being of our planet, and we are confident that this eco-friendly addition to the FIBA 3x3 World Tour 2023 will be widely appreciated."

"Our goal was to create a trophy with minimal environmental impact, while still instilling a sense of pride in the recipients. With the introduction of this exciting new MVP trophy, we believe we have achieved just that,” added Sanchez.
