The Tokyo Olympics closed on August 8, 2021.Delayed by a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic,this Olympic Games is destined to be an extraordinary event and it is also destined to be recorded in the annals of history. Let’s take a look at what recycled materials have been used in this Olympic Games?
1,The award platform is made of recycled plastics
The winners of the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games will be on special podiums because these podiums are made of 24.5 tons of waste household plastic.
The Olympic Organizing Committee has collected nearly 400,000 bottles of washing powder in large retailers and schools across Japan. These household plastics are recycled into filaments and 3D printing is used to make 98 Olympic podiums. It is said that this is the first time in the history of the Olympic and Paralympic Games that the public has participated in the collection of waste plastics to make a podium.
2,Eco-friendly beds and mattresses
The Tokyo Olympics featured environmental protection, with many facilities using environmentally friendly materials. For the first time in Olympic history, the 26,000 beds in the Village are all made of cardboard and the bedding is almost entirely made of recycled materials, fitted together to look like big cardboard boxes.
3,Recycled plastic torchbearer clothing
The white T-shirts and pants worn by the torchbearers of the Tokyo Olympics when carrying the Olympic flame are made of recycled plastic bottles collected by Coca-Cola.
This uniform with recycled plastic is also unique in design. T-shirts, shorts and trousers have a red diagonal belt that extends from front to back. This diagonal belt is similar to the belt often worn by Japanese track and field relay athletes. This torchbearer costume for the Tokyo Olympics not only embodies traditional Japanese sports elements, but also embodies the concept of sustainable development.
