2010 Olympic Medals to be Made From Scrap Circuit Boards
Almost 7 metric tons of scrap circuit boards were diverted from landfills to make the Vancouver Olympic medals.
The official medals for the 2010 Winter Olympics were unveiled Thursday morning in Vancouver. For the first time, the medals are not flat. Instead, they have an undulating surface intended to represent the West Coast landscape of mountains and waves and drifting snow.
Each medal will be unique, featuring part of an image cropped from two large master artworks by Corrine Hunt, a Canadian designer and artist of Komoyue and Tlingit heritage based in Vancouver, B.C.
6.8 metric tons of scrap circuit boards was diverted from landfills to make them.
