The 2023 Rugby World Cup, scheduled in France from September 8 to October 28, aims to “reduce the impact on the environment”.
The gold, silver and bronze medals to be awarded at the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France will be “recycled from phones and other electronic products collected in rugby clubs,” organizers announced Tuesday.
The 2023 World Cup, scheduled in France from September 8 to October 28, aims to “reduce the impact on the environment” by applying “responsible waste management,” said Claude Atcher, general director of the organizing committee.
From this point of view, the medals awarded to the three best teams in the competition will be made up of recycled materials “from telephones and other electronic products” collected from rugby clubs, leagues and committees in France.
“After a meticulous selection process, the recyclable devices will be sent to a specialized center for the extraction of precious metals that will then be melted,” added the organizing committee.
The world champion, the finalist, and the third, will thus receive medals with recycled materials.
The 2023 World Cup, which will start with a gala match between the All Blacks and the XV of France, aims to be “a rugby World Cup with a positive impact”. (I)
