The Olympic Games are just around the corner, starting on Friday, July 26, and until Sunday, August 11, the best athletes in the world will meet in seven emblematic stadiums in France. In this article we review the role of plastics in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Plastic technologies have played a crucial role in the development of sport, especially in recent years. In terms of sports equipment, advanced polymers such as Polyurethane (PU), polyester and nylon have been used to make light, resistant and high-performance footwear.
Sportswear also uses these synthetic fibers to improve comfort, durability and performance.
