After those wonderful Olympic and Paralympic Games happening in Paris, the city of Baudelaire, I wanted to reflect on the actions taken by some of the many partners to make those games more circular:
🧱 Le Pavé turned plastic waste into the 68 podiums and into 11000 seats for two of the arenas.
☁️ La Tête Dans Les Nuages provided their bean bags made out of hot-air balloons textiles to help the athletes to rest.
🏸 Compo’Plume used 1146 badminton shuttlecocks to create a unique tabletop in the Olympic Village.
🥇 And last but not least, for this great Parisian occasion, La Maison Chaumet and La Monnaie de Paris incorporated pieces of the iconic Eiffel Tower into the Olympic medals.
Well deserved for the athletes!
