Management and redeployment of Games assets for reuse

Summary

Materials are a valuable resource that should not be wasted. Reuse contributes to waste prevention by removing items from the waste stream. It also contributes towards compensating an organisation’s carbon impacts. The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) committed to prioritise avoidance and reuse although it was unable to set explicit targets for reuse alone. Instead it committed to report clearly on reuse and enable others to learn from its efforts.
