#GreenKarate project, a ground-breaking initiative to put Karate at the forefront of sustainability in sports.

Following the recommendations of the IOC's Olympic Agenda 2020+5, and in its efforts to foster a more sustainable world, the WKF has created a pioneering project to make Karate a more environmentally friendly sport.

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, protections and tatamis fabricated with at least 70% of recycled materials.

All "WKF Approved" equipment produced with at least 70% of recycled materials will bear the "WKF Approved Green Karate" label.
