Medals that will be used in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games will be made from recycled mobile phones.
Two tonnes of gold,silver and bronze is required for the 5000 medals. The metals will be sourced from old-fashioned phones and small appliances, Infrastructurene.ws reports.
Tokyo 2020 sports director Koji Murofushi told BBC Sport that the project hopes to promote sustainability and reduce the cost of making the medals.
