-Organizing the Games with fewer resources,
-Making better use of these resources by promoting eco-design
Ensuring the second life of resources after the Games.
-Using 95 percent of existing infrastructure or temporary venues, to build less and thus mobilize fewer resources.
- Interior design of the ~40 competition and non-competition venues. Paris 2024 says it has been able to reduce the amount of furniture and signage needed from 800,000 to 600,000.
Regarding catering, Paris 2024 has committed to reducing single-use plastic by 50 percent compared to the Games of London 2012 by using returnable, recycled and reused containers.
* To achieve this, Worldwide Partner Coca-Cola will offer packaging-free beverages by installing drinks fountains where the configuration of the venue allows to significantly reduce the use of plastic bottles.
For the flooring for the handball, volleyball and sitting volleyball events, as well as wheelchair basketball, wheelchair rugby, goalball and boccia, Paris 2024 chose Gerflor — a French company specializing in floor coverings. The 33,466 m² of sports flooring supplied by Gerflor will contain an average of 35 percent recycled materials and will be 100 percent recyclable; and Gerflor is committed to finding a reuse destination in sports or educational establishments after the competition, for all the flooring used during the Paris 2024 Games.
