Olympic medalists will stand on podiums made of recycled plastic at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the International Olympic Committee said Thursday.
The IOC said it will work with a Japanese arm of the Procter and Gamble group to collect and reuse plastic to build the podiums.
P&G Japan K.K. is the world's biggest producer of daily consumer goods and a sponsor of the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics.
