Sustainability

We’re committed to reducing our environmental impact, helping you in turn reduce the carbon footprint of your event.

Whether we’re looking at energy, water, or recycling initiatives, as the biggest entertainment venue in the East Midlands, we want to limit the impact of our presence on the environment and make a difference.

We are a zero-landfill venue.  40 per cent of our waste is recycled. Waste that is not recycled goes to a local incinerator, which is turned into electricity and heat to power the building. 

We were the first UK indoor entertainment and sports venue to introduce eco-friendly poly cups. The cups are reusable for up to five years and are fully recyclable.

The Arena has reduced its energy consumption by over 20 per cent in the last five years, and recycled paper is used throughout the business. It has also developed bespoke systems to significantly reduce its water consumption, with the water tanks cleverly collecting would-have-been wastewater to help make new ice for the two rinks.

We invite you to review our key achievements here.
