The Paris Olympics are committed to sustainability using recycled plastic

The Paris Olympic Games is committed to sustainable development using recycled plastic
The use of plastic in Paris 2024 includes eco-friendly seats and medal wear.

In order to reduce carbon emissions and protect the environment, some of the stadiums of the Paris Olympics have adopted eco-friendly seats made of recycled plastic waste. These seats use techniques such as thermal compression to convert hundreds of tons of renewable plastic into boards, which are ultimately made into seats.

Green technology has been adopted in the Chinese sports delegation's medal suits, which are made of environmentally friendly fabrics such as recycled nylon and recycled polyester, achieving a carbon reduction of more than 50%. These materials come from Marine plastics, discarded fishing nets, discarded mineral water bottles and coke bottles, etc. They are not only environmentally friendly, but also have excellent wear resistance, heat resistance and chemical resistance, demonstrating the concept of environmental protection and sustainable development ‌.

Typically, the podium is made of precast concrete with a top consisting of multiple layers of wooden, concrete, or metal frames. However, at this year's Olympics, the silver podium is made of 100% recycled plastic. This is part of the Paris Olympic Committee's larger commitment to sustainability, which is unprecedented at the Olympic Games. To create the panels for the 68 silver Olympic podiums, 18 tons of recycled plastic and styrofoam food containers were used. 100 tonnes of recycled bottles and caps were used to make the panels for 11,000 stadium seats.

These applications reflect the importance of the Paris Olympic Games to reduce carbon emissions and protect the environment, and also demonstrate the application of green technology in sports events.
