New Ideas in Recycling<br />
NAOC adopted a number of innovative new<br />
ideas for the recycling of waste. These included:<br />
• Fertilizer Made from Food Waste<br />
A fertilizer processor was installed in the<br />
Olympic Village to process the food waste<br />
from the 1,000-seat restaurant. The fertilizer<br />
was packaged and distributed as souvenirs to<br />
visitors to the village, as well as used to nourish<br />
village plants and trees.<br />
• Recycling of Tableware into Solid Fuel or<br />
Oil Form<br />
With the cooperation of official supplier<br />
Hitachi Zosen and utensil and tableware manufacturers,<br />
used apple pulp plates and plastic<br />
utensils from the Olympic Village and four<br />
other facilities’ restaurants were separated and<br />
processed into solid fuel or light oil.
