It includes a 32,300 sq.ft arena catering for up to 4,000 and offers a choice of conference and meeting rooms. Banqueting is available for 24 people to 1,500. Over 100 companies and organizations provide information in 45 exhibitions, creating ‘A world of experiences for energy and environmental issues.’ More detail at: www.umweltarena.ch. The exhibitions show the impact our behaviour has on the environment. How can we save resources? What technologies help us to save energy in our everyday lives? Why is it so important to separate and recycle trash? A particular highlight for children is the Energy Slide, which demonstrates in a playful manner how electricity is produced. Visitors can test drive Segways, e-bikes, e-scooters, electric and economical cars. Another exhibition explains how energy is generated from sunlight, wind and biomass and how this is used in our daily lives. What makes the Umwelt Arena special is that the building offers an impressive example of sustainability in action.

This mixture is periodically pumped into a separate collection tank to await removal and reuse. Meiko has long recognized the potential value of unused food waste in a sustainability context.
