Tokyo 2020 Olympic organizers are encouraging people living in Japan to help make the medals for the games by donating (捐赠) their useless smart phones for recycling. It will avoid waste and benefit the environment.
The organizing committee says that it has cooperated with NTT Docomo, a telecommunications giant in Japan, and hopes to collect up to 8 tons of metal from useless electronic devices (设备).
“Tokyo 2020 Olympic medals will be made in order to avoid waste,” said three-time Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Kohei Uchimura. “I think there is an important message in this for future generations.”
Collection boxes will be put in more than 2,400 NTT Docomo stores throughout Japan. The organizing committee says that millions of smart phones will be needed to hit the 8-ton target － enough to make 5,000 medals. Collection will stop when the target has been reached.
“The weight of a medal around your neck is always a good weight,” says American former athlete Ashton Eaton, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and world record holder. “And when an athlete at Tokyo wins a medal, the weight of it will not be from the gold, silver or bronze; it will be the weight of a nation. The great project makes me want to come out of retirement and compete for one.”
Previous (先前的) Olympic Games have used recycled metal to make medals, but Tokyo 2020 will be the first to choose materials from useless electronic devices. Organizers claim that all gold medals will be made 100 percent from recycled materials.
“We are asking people to recycle voluntarily,” says Hidemasa Nakamura, the chief financial officer of the 2020 Games. “The idea is recycling and sustainability (可持续), which shows the ideas of the Olympic Movement, it is also about participation.”
