On September 23, the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou opened. Hangzhou Asian Games uphold the "green, intelligent, thrifty, civilized" concept of organizing the games, and make every effort to build the world's first large-scale "no waste" event. 

The unprecedented scale of this year's Asian Games, more than 12,000 athletes from all over Asia, 5,000 accompanying officials, 4,700 technical officials, more than 12,000 media journalists from around the world and millions of spectators are expected to participate in the Hangzhou Asian Games, the scale of the event will be a record high. 

As the main media center catering service provider, Hangzhou International Expo Center is duty-bound to do its utmost to promote a green and low-carbon lifestyle. Inside the restaurant, as far as the eye can see, the dining table and landscape arrangement are made of paper-based materials, which can be recycled and reused after the race, and the tableware provided to guests are all biodegradable and environmentally friendly materials, with knives, forks and spoons made of PLA materials, and plates and bowls made of rice husk materials, so that from the spatial arrangement to the plates and tableware, we can truly implement and create a "no-waste" dining space.
