Subaru of America and the National Parks Conservation Association have made significant progress in reducing waste through the Don't Feed the Landfills Initiative. In collaboration with the National Park Service and the National Park Foundation, the initiative has eliminated 22 million pounds of waste from national parks since 2015. By implementing recycling, composting, and educational programs, the program has helped decrease landfill
This partnership has significantly impacted national parks and surrounding communities by reducing waste and improving environmental stewardship. The initiative’s success has provided a scalable model for waste reduction, helping parks manage over 80 million pounds of waste annually. By focusing on sustainable packaging, visitor education, and improved recycling infrastructure, the project has doubled the amount of single-use plastics diverted from landfills at the pilot parks. These efforts contribute to a healthier environment by reducing pollution, lowering operational costs, and ensuring that national parks remain clean and sustainable for future generations.
