The project is reportedly part of a campaign to contribute to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which aims to draw attention to the problem of ocean plastic waste that has become a global issue.

The plastics to be recycled are laundry detergents, softeners, kitchen cleaners, hair care products, plastic bottles for deodorants and their substitutes. From the 19th, it will start recycling in about 2,000 stores of large distribution company AEON. Sponsors from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will also help, and will also increase the company's collection of ocean plastic waste.

According to the organizing committee, about 100 lecterns will be produced, requiring 45 tons of plastic. According to reports, some of the aluminum materials used for the skeleton will be used in the window frames of temporary houses in the earthquake-stricken areas of East Japan. In charge of the podium design is the production of the official emblem of the Wild Tide Bear, which is expected to be completed around June 2020.

It is reported that after the meeting, the plan will be reused as educational material in schools.
