TOUR OF ROMANIA 2022 – THE TOUR OF RECYCLING: 24 teams, 15 countries and 850 km covered
Romania was once again on the world cycling map with the 55th edition of the Tour of Romania, organised by the Romanian Cycling Federation, the Ministry of Sport and the Bucharest City Hall less than two weeks after the first edition of L’Étape Romania by Tour de France. Reciclad’OR, together with Rematholding Co, were again with the cyclists coming from all over the world and their supporters, ensuring the green component of the great event.
Recycling Tour
Over 130 competitors. 24 teams from 15 countries. Approximately 850 kilometres covered between Satu-Mare and Bucharest, passing through Bistrița, Târgu-Mureș, Făgăraș and Curtea de Argeș. Plus hundreds of children at special events for young cyclists in each town. This is what this year’s edition of the Tour of Romania looked like, an event watched for the first time in its history in 50 countries, through broadcasts on Eurosport.
Strategic partners Reciclad’OR and Rematholding Co provided the green component of the event. Under the motto “Tour of Romania – Recycling Tour”, Reciclad’OR and Rematholding Co offered competitors and spectators, along the entire route of each of the six stages of the competition and in the start and finish area, the opportunity to collect separately recyclable waste in specially prepared systems and to make the RECYCLING TOUR, succeeding this time in contributing to the reduction of CO2 consumption at national level.
