We interviewed the people concerned about the draft report compiled by the Games Organizing Committee on "realizing a sustainable society," which was one of the themes of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics.
While he said that the reuse of temporary facilities had been successful, he also pointed out issues such as food loss and disposal of medical supplies.
The Organizing Committee is in the process of summarizing the achievements and issues of the Tokyo Organizing Committee, and in this, the draft report summarizing one of the themes of the Organizing Committee, "Realization of a Sustainable Society," was sent to the concerned parties. I found out in the interview.
Among them, in addition to recycling the walls for sports climbing that were difficult to relocate and demolished as materials for housing, plastic waste generated at competition venues and athletes' villages in Tokyo was brought to a factory with a special sorting machine. It is said that there was a result that all could be recycled.
On the other hand, there are also issues such as the problem of "food loss" in which the lunch boxes of staff and volunteers were discarded, and the issues such as masks and medical gowns that were prepared as a countermeasure against infection of the new corona and were disposed of during the withdrawal work. I'm pointing out.
The Organizing Committee has discarded about 130,000 meals of lunch in the month from July 3, including about 4,000 meals left over at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, as well as masks and medical care for about 5 million yen. It is revealed that the gowns for the Olympic Games were also disposed of.
Regarding this, the report states that although there was a sudden change in the situation such as the determination of the number of spectators, it was necessary to create a mechanism that does not cause food loss and secure a storage place for goods.
The report is expected to be published at the Organizing Committee's board meeting next week.
