Meanwhile, the Tokyo Organizing Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games has set "Games for next generation" as an integral part of its sustainability vision.
Kentaro Kato, project director of Media Relations, said that a sustainability project called "Operation BATON" launched in October 2017 aims at turning the sustainability vision into a reality.
The Village Plaza will be one of the main facilities in the athletes village. After the Games, the Plaza will be dismantled and the timber will be returned to the local municipalities for them to re-use. Moreover, the medals for Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games will use gold, silver and cooper extracted and recycled from used electronics like smartphones and laptops in a first in the history of the Games.
