The London Olympics will be the most environmentally sustainable in history, the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games (Locog) has claimed.
Locog last month launched a sustainable sourcing code, as part of its wider sustainability plan for the games, covering areas such as ethical and green procurement.
A spokesman for the committee said that the code was “setting the bar quite high”, when it came to the construction of venues that, Locog hopes, will leave London with a sustainable legacy.
“The sustainable sourcing code is part of the wider sustainability plan that we launched in November last year,” he said.

“As far as I’m aware I don’t think any previous Games have gone into as much detail as we have in terms of preparation.”
