ReCycling
Cycling is a sport that can be harmoniously integrated into the environment, be it a professional road race or a mountain bike event along a forest track. It is the UCI’s responsibility, together with event organizers, to apply the principles of sustainable development.
With that in mind, the UCI produced a working tool for organizers of cycling events entitled "ReCycling, the UCI Environmental Guidebook". By proposing the implementation of simple and practical actions, this guide is significantly changing the relationship between events and the environment, while building a greener image for cycling.

Credentials
ReCycling is in line with the three-pillar concept of the Olympic Movement, where the “environment†features alongside “sport†and “cultureâ€.
The working methodology of this guide is based on the SSET Toolkit, developed by the Organizing Committee of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games and the AISTS (International Academy of Sports and Technology), in Switzerland.
