As the world gears up for the World Masters Games Taipei 2025, sustainability and thoughtful design are front and center in the event’s preparations. One standout example is the Welcome Kits provided to the participants. These kits, as showcased in the official exhibition and documented in the accompanying images, reflect the event’s deep commitment to environmental consciousness, usability, and meaningful moments.
A Greener Welcome
The Welcome Kits are crafted with sustainability in mind, using eco-friendly and natural materials. All included items are not only practical for the event but are also intended for continued use in daily life or easy repurposing. This aligns closely with the event’s broader Sustainability Plan, which follows the United Nations’ “2030 Sustainable Development Goals” and the International Olympic Committee’s sustainability strategy.
The plan emphasizes four key pillars:
- Environmental Action
- Health and Wellbeing
- Social Inclusion
- Industrial Economy
These principles are embedded in the Welcome Kits, serving as tangible expressions of the games’ eco-conscious ethos.
