In this application, Paris 2024 hopes to provide a more responsible and circular event model, especially in terms of the use of resources. If most of the sports equipment for the Olympics is leased, those purchased with support from the National Sports Agency (ANS) will be bequeathed to French sport. Thousands of other items for events will also delight people during the Great Games Sale in September and October 2024.
The sports equipment that accompanied the performances and exploits of athletes around the world at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris will get a second life:
Of the 1.2 million pieces of sports equipment required to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games, 75% are leased in line with the responsible sourcing strategy and the Paris 2024 circular economy strategy. The purchased equipment will be bequeathed to French sport to benefit athletes and athletes at all levels.
Based on strategies developed and validated by ANS, CNOSF and CPSF, national sports federations identified the potential benefit structure for all equipment purchased for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games through a transparent selection process. In accordance with the instructions of the Committee and the ANS Committee, a donation agreement has been or will be signed between the Paris 2024 Organizing Committee and the relevant federations. Therefore, until the end of the Games, all sports equipment will be given a second life to identified sports and association beneficiaries.
This reuse plan reflects the desire of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games to give as many people as possible the opportunity to participate in sport, especially those who live far away from areas where sports equipment is lacking (such as Seine-Saint-Denis, the 103rd arrondissement). In terms of sports infrastructure, the department ranks first out of 105 departments.
For example:
The French Volleyball Federation (FFVB) will inherit numerous equipment: balls, nets, posts and sports floors. FFVB will supply the equipment specifically to sports centers across France.
The French Badminton Federation (FFBaD) will collect equipment for its Olympic and Paralympic programmes. In the Loire region, a large amount of equipment will be recycled by the Paralympic Movement.
The French Taekwondo Federation (FFTDA) will redistribute sports equipment used during the Olympic and Paralympic Games among numerous clubs in the Paris region, such as Club Dougny (93).
Sand from the Eiffel Tower Stadium, used for beach volleyball competitions, will be reused to build the equivalent of three pitches in the Marville departmental park (93) and one pitch in Tarverny in the Oise Valley (95).
Following discussions with the French Roller Skateboard Federation (FFRS), DIJOP and ANS, and with funding from Solideo, the Skate Street competition area and warm-up area at the Place de la Concorde Park will be re-established in the Seine Saint-Denis post-race.
Following a call for expressions of interest launched in 2021, the temporary swimming pool installed at the Paris-La Défense stadium in Nanterre will be reused in Seine-Saint-Denis, Sevran (Paris Grande) and Bagnolet (Eastern Together), using Traditional methods funded by Paris 2024, SOLIDEO, the Provincial Committee and the Provincial Committee of Seine-Saint-Denis.
Collectors and fans of the Paralympic Games will be the starting point: the day after the Paralympic Games, clearance sales will be held across France and many Paralympic memorabilia will be sold. For the first time in the history of the Olympic Games, the organizing committee relied on these festivals and open events to give a second life to thousands of objects: uniforms used by athletes, textiles such as cups, flags, towels, venue decoration elements and even ceremonial products. These souvenirs will be sold at attractive prices.

The donation of sports equipment to France Sport and the Grandes Braderies des Jeux is part of Paris 2024’s overall circular economy strategy to organize a more responsible event. Temporary infrastructure, furniture, uniforms, sports equipment, food and beverages, technical equipment… Paris 2024 has carried out an unprecedented estimating exercise on the volume and nature of its assets, with the aim of reducing and concentrating resources and mastering their life cycle, before and during the event. and after the game.
In this context, 90% of the 6 million assets are deployed and then taken over by Paris 2024 service providers and partners responsible for finding a second life for them. For example, Lyreco, the official supporter of the 2024 Paris Olympics and supplier of more than 60,000 pieces of furniture, took advantage of the Olympics to launch a new second-hand furniture promotion. Paris 2024 is also committed to finding second-life solutions for the remaining 10% directly managed by the Commission.

Certain National Olympic and Paralympic Committees have pledged to provide legacy products and equipment from the Olympic Games to solidarity associations focused on the most vulnerable groups (Emmaüs, Red Cross and French People’s Aid).
RGS, official supporter of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, will donate more than 50,000 pieces of furniture to the Emmaüs Movement as a whole, including the Banque Solidaire de l’Equipement system, supported by Emmaüs Défi, which provides furniture to those in need. long-term housing.
Gerflor is the official supporter and supplier of 33,000 square meters of sports flooring for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games and will reinstall nearly 40 sports pitches in cities and clubs in the Paris region and across France.

These assets are gradually being put online and can be purchased by the professional public or collected for free by associations and federations.
