Olympic Games Tokyo 2020

The 2020 Olympics are set to begin on July 24th  and end on August 9th, 2020. This time, the Olympic Games will be held at 34 venues in and around Tokyo, Japan. For all the medals that will be awarded to the winners of the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games will be made from recycled electronic waste. This is an excellent project that gives more importance to the environment. For this initiative, a project was started in 2017 to collect enough electronic waste, including old smartphones and laptops, to implement the scheme.
