Following the recommendations of the IOC’s Olympic Agenda 2020+5, the World Karate Federation is launching the #GreenKarate project.
In cooperation with the WKF’s main partners, the #GreenKarate project is designed to promote the production and widespread use of sustainable Karate equipment. Through this initiative, the WKF and its partners pledge to produce Karate gear fabricated with at least 70% of recycled materials.
Moreover, the #GreenKarate project is highly far-reaching as it includes the implementation of sustainability factors in WKF sport events through the elimination or reduction of the environmental footprint of these events.
WKF President Antonio Espinós said:
“The WKF is fully committed to positioning Karate as one of the leading disciplines in sustainability within the whole global sports community. As a sport that combines tradition and innovation like no other, Karate is launching the #GreenKarate project to become a champion in global social issues and the protection of the environment.
