The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris will feature Stadium Seats made from recycled Plastic collected from the local area. 80% of the 100 metric tons of plastic used for the seats came from a single neighborhood. The plastic was collected, shredded, and processed by a company called Le Pavé. The chairs have undergone various tests including UV resistance, fire resistance, and mechanical resistance. The plastic used for the seats came from waste streams, including 5 million soda bottle tops. Paris aims to reduce downstream emissions by half compared to previous games and is also working to make the Seine River swimmable again.
