Tokyo olympic medals to be made from recycled electronics

In a bid to promote sustainability and cut down on costs for the olympic games, the Tokyo 2020 medals will be made out of recycled metals taken from mobile phones and other electronic devices.

The agenda for Tokyo 2020, which is described as a strategic roadmap for the event, specifically calls for the inclusion of sustainability in every aspect of the games. The project’s goal is to collect around eight tonnes of metal, which will be recycled down to about two tonnes – enough to produce 5,000 medals for the games, according to the committee.

Beginning in April, people in Japan will be able to find collection boxes in more than 2,400 mobile phone stores, as well as in public offices across Japan.
