Campaign under way to make Olympic medals from recycled metal

Hironao Ito (L), and two other members of the environment club of Tokyo's Waseda University pose for photos with a prototype Olympic gold medal made from metal recycled from electronic devices in Tokyo on Sept. 22, 2016. The group is working together with the Ecomaterials Forum, an association comprising researchers and companies, to collect signatures to realize a project in which medals to be awarded to athletes at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games will be made from recycled materials.
