For a number of reasons, 
the Olympic beds are 
composed of cardboard.
 
First of all, with adjustable 
mattresses and sturdy 
cardboard bed frames, 
they're designed to be 
recyclable and portable. 
Athletes can effortlessly 
rearrange their rooms 
thanks to the beds' light

ensuring that all 
equipment used during the 
brief Games has a minimal                                Source:

After the Olympics, the 
beds will be recycled into 
more paper and plastic 
products.
Sustainability: 
Since cardboard beds are 
easily recycled after use 
and are composed of 
recyclable materials, they 
are environmentally 
friendly.
