Each of the 98 podiums were created with 3-D printing technology using plastic collected from more than 2,000 locations across Japan. Plastic items were collected at retail stores, in offices and in schools as a part of an education campaign focused on responsible consumption and recycling.
For P&G and its brands, protecting the planet is incredibly important so they wanted to use the Tokyo 2020 Podium Project as a catalyst to inspire actions that have a positive impact on the environment and society. This video highlights details of the Podium Project:
