New type of recyclable carpet debuted at Super Bowl LIX

The big picture: The facility used carpet that's made of 100% polypropylene, which is the same plastic in bottle caps, according to information from the convention center.

• It's the largest installation of this type of carpet, which is easy to break down into reusable material.
• The carpet was used at the Super Bowl Experience.
• It was rolled up and shipped to a recycling facility in Georgia.

By the numbers: The convention center also...

• Donated 600 pounds of unserved food to Bethel Colony.
• Composted 800 pounds of kitchen waste.
• Recycled 400 pounds of glass.

The intrigue: No word about what happened to the carpet Fox used to cover Bourbon Street.
