More than a funny and iconic race, the adidas 10k Paris contributes to make action for the environment! You’re doing good for you and the planet, what else? 💚
We’re aware of the ecological issues and by using the GESI* chart, adidas 10k Paris took measures to protect the environment and the social responsability.
Our commitments are:
💧 No more plastic bottles on the refueling stations. We use now water fountain and 100% compostable tumbler and a Eco cup at the final refueling station after the finish line.
♻️ Recycling boxes are available to collect and recycle your bib (it’s also Made in France !)
⚡ 100% of race vehicles are electric or hydrogen (we must use vehicles to insure your security)
🧻 100% dry toilets
🍏🍌 100% of the non ate food on refueling stations is given to an association
🥇 The medal is made in Spain, made with woods residues coming from sustainably managed forests and the ribbon is made of recycled pastic bottles
We decided to choose medals coming from Spain to reduce our carbon print.
👕 Your tshirt is made of 100% recycled materials
By using recycled polyester, we preserve our ressources, we reduce fossil energy extraction and have a positive impact on the planet. It’s one of the solution chosen by adidas to reduce plastic waste!
