The Olympics 2024 and plastic.

Paris Olympics Plastics and sustainable processes

IPL Brightgreen and IPL Rotherham supporting Team GB (and a positive approach to plastic.)

IPL Brightgreen Plastics and IPL Rotherham fully support Team GB this Olympics.

The achievements are remarkable, and we are proud to be behind Team GB’s efforts.

As with most mainstream events, there has already been controversy after a few days, from the opening ceremony to sponsors.

We acknowledge the controversy surrounding the use of plastics at the Olympics. While plastic has gained a reputation for its environmental impact, it’s essential to recognise its value as a recyclable resource that can be reused many times if managed correctly. Here’s why plastic use is an issue and how education, management, and investment in recycling can turn this problem into an opportunity.
