7月28日，东京奥运会主办方就在开幕式期间，为工作人员订购太多食物造成浪费而道歉，此前用卡车运送一盒盒未食用食物的视频在网上广泛传播。东京广播公司上周晚些时候报道，由于决定在没有观众的情况下举行奥运会，志愿者的数量减少，数千个未食用过的饭盒和饭团被丢弃在体育场内。该报道对东京奥组委来说尤其尴尬，因为他们长期以来一直将2020东京奥运会定位为可持续发展的奥运会，并在其官网上写道：“2020东京奥运会旨在将资源浪费的负面影响降到最低”，并将这一条写在“资源管理：零浪费”的标题下。
Organizers of the Tokyo Olympics on Wednesday apologized for ordering too much food for their staff during the opening ceremony and letting it go to waste after videos of trucks carting off boxes of uneaten food went viral online. Thousands of untouched lunch boxes and rice balls have been discarded at the stadium as a decision to hold the Games without spectators slashed the number of volunteers there, Tokyo Broadcasting System Television reported late last week.The report was particularly embarrassing for organizers as they have long pitched Tokyo 2020 as the sustainable Games and say on their own web page that "Tokyo 2020 aims to minimize the adverse impact of resource waste". That line was included under the headline "Resource Management: 'Zero Wasting'".
