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.
