Eco-skating Ice Rink in Mexico City

Government of Mexico City responds to climate change with a sustainable skating rink technology.

Compared to a conventional ice rink, the 4,000 m2 eco-friendly alternative will save 185,000 liters of water, the monthly energy consumption of 4,000 average households and 95 tons of CO2 emissions over the course of this event.

"We are honored to offer the Mexico City residents a fun and eco-friendly skating experience this holiday season. Glice looks like ice, glides like ice, but isn’t ice," said Co-Founder and CEO Viktor Meier. "It enables a great skating experience in locations where it would be ordinarily impossible to make and hold ice."

"Our new Eco-Rink offers the joy of ice skating without the negative environmental impact related to the operation of conventional ice rinks," said Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, Head of Government Mexico City. Furthermore, skaters don’t get wet, and the shock-absorbing properties of the Eco-Ice decrease the risk of injuries. Local residents benefit from the absence of generator noises and our new rink has a capacity of 1,200 skaters.

"We are excited to bring our Glice Eco-Rink to Mexico City and enable the local community to enjoy skating fun in a sustainable way," said Hans Broder, Director of Glice Mexico. "We anticipate that our eco-friendly rinks can be used in many parts of our country to offer Mexicans a new and unique experience."
