The American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) highlights the crucial role of petrochemicals in the 2024 Summer Olympics. Petrochemicals derived from oil and natural gas are essential for high-performance athletic gear, such as moisture-wicking leotards and nylon swimsuits, as well as infrastructure like polyethylene lane dividers and polyester nets. These materials enable athletes to perform at their best and contribute to the construction of Olympic venues.
