SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability: Race your dreams, protect our future

At the UCI Para Cycling Track World Championships, everything is about chasing dreams. Not only on the bike, but beyond it too. #RaceYourDreams also means dreaming of a healthy, fair and liveable future. That is why we are focusing on the following sustainability goals during the UCI Para Cycling Track World Championships:

A venue with a mission

Our host venue, Omnisport Apeldoorn, is the proud holder of a Green Key Gold certificate. This recognition underlines the venue’s commitment to sustainability and makes it a perfect match for our ambitions.

Smart and clean travel

We encourage sustainable travel for both visitors and the organisation. Walk or cycle if you live nearby. Use public transport where possible. Carpool via the Slinger app and, if you have the option, choose an electric car when travelling by car. For our international guests, we are consciously using electric vehicles together with our official car supplier, Autohuis Eickhof. This helps us reduce emissions and shows that elite sport and sustainability can go hand in hand.

Responsible catering

We purchase consciously: less waste means less rubbish. Our crew meals are largely vegetarian, as is much of the food available to visitors. Where possible, we use porcelain instead of disposable tableware. Together with Too Good To Go, we also work to prevent food waste.

Waste becomes a resource

We carefully separate waste using waste stations with five different types of bins. PET bottles are collected for charity, supporting Stichting Wildlands. Water refill points and reusable bottles help reduce plastic use. Event banners are given a second life as shopping bags.

Green Team

Our own Green Team helps ensure that waste streams are handled correctly and that sustainability is visible and tangible throughout the event.

Plant your dream

114 medals, but no short-lived bouquets that wilt after a few days. Instead, we choose flower bulbs: sustainable, long-lasting and a symbol of growth. Plant your dream, watch it bloom. From young talent to big champion. In this way, elite sport becomes not only a stage for the champions of tomorrow, but also for the world of tomorrow.
