The podium is designed by Asao Tokoro, who also designed the Tokyo 2020 emblems. It is made of recycled plastic and aluminum, and will be the first of its kind in Olympic and Paralympic history. Presenting a new model for a sustainable society with its design under the concept of 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), the podium also uses aluminum wastes from the temporary housing units built for families affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 to express the Olympic and Paralympic symbols.
Exactly 10 years ago, the Great East Japan Earthquake devastated the Tohoku region of Japan. These aluminum wastes used convey wishes to bring together those whose lives have been affected to overcome disasters, get over sufferings, and surpass the old past.
