PODIUMS at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics will be made from plastic waste donated by local residents or collected from the sea, organisers said today, as part of a sustainability push. It will be the first time podiums have been made from recycled materials and organisers say they will need about 45 tonnes of plastic to fashion around 100 podiums for the Games.
