Mega sports events, which typically consume vast amounts of resources, require innovative solutions to enhance their sustainability. The Paris 2024 Olympic Games have set a new standard in this regard. As International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach highlighted at the closing ceremony, these Games marked the beginning of a new era.<\/p>\n<p>The Paris 2024 organising committee published ten commitments to achieve a \u201cmore circular games\u201d. For example, 95% of the infrastructure used for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games either already existed or was temporary. This meant a considerable reduction in new construction, thereby almost eliminating the use of virgin resources. By using pre-existing venues and temporary structures, the Games minimised the environmental impact of new buildings.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of the organising committee is to avoid or recover 80% of consumption waste during the Games. They aimed for a 50% reduction of single-use plastic waste compared to previous games. However, they could have achieved much more by entirely replacing plastic-based products with organic material-based products. The first green Olympic flame, soaring high in the airborne Olympic Cauldron above the Tuileries Gardens \u2013 a tribute to the Montgolfier brothers and powered solely by green electricity \u2013 captured everyone\u2019s imagination. They were not only the first to achieve gender parity among competitors but were also the most sustainable Olympics to date.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.circularonline.co.uk\/case-studies\/paris-2024-olympics-a-new-standard-for-circular-economy-events\/\">Circular Online<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-599\/\">Paris 2024 Olympics: A new standard for circular economy events?<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[838,575,5275,4958],"class_list":["post-133953","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-circular-economy","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-olympics","tag-paris"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133953","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133953"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133953\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
