Under the first new initiative the EcoRewards Recycling program, a service offered by AbitibiBowater, will provide 100 soda bottle shaped recycling receptacles, each five feet high, throughout the concourse area.

"The key to successful recycling is making it easy for people to participate" said Ken Carrier, the National Sales Manager for EcoRewards. "The Texas Rangers already work with their cleaning contractor to try to capture as much of the material as possible. However, this new initiative will help increase the percentage of beverage containers recovered from the ballpark. It will also help communicate to the fans the Texas Rangers' commitment to the 'Go Rangers! Go Green!' recycling program."

In the second recycling initiative, the Texas Rangers have retained EcoRewards Recycling to complete a comprehensive waste diversion and recycling audit in order to help maximize the recovery of recyclables from the ballpark. EcoRewards consulting services will include benchmarking and ongoing management reporting to identify additional waste reduction opportunities and to help communicate the beneficial environmental impact of the Texas Rangers' recycling program. Carrier also stated that "it's exciting to get the opportunity to work with an organization that has such a strong commitment to their environmental stewardship".
