“The partnership between Moda Center and DeSantis Landscapes – a landscaping company local to Portland – in which the former donates food waste for the latter to turn into soil, was highlighted. It prevents one million pounds of food waste going to landfill.”
DeSantis Landscapes gets national recognition for sustainability efforts at the Moda Center!
When an already-sustainable sports and entertainment complex was looking to up their game even more, they turned to DeSantis Landscapes to get the job done. The Moda Center at the Rose Quarter, a 30-acre campus and home to the Portland Trail Blazers, had been improving their sustainability efforts across the board, having earned their first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification in 2010, becoming the first sports complex in the world to be LEED Gold certified.
