Japan Opens Environmentally Friendly Ice-Free Skating Rink
A unit of Mitsubishi Plastics Inc. is providing panels for artificial skating rinks that require absolutely no ice.
The petro-based resin panels are made in Spain, measuring 1.965 meters by 0.965 meter, and are available for both domestic ice skating and hockey rinks. Um…one ice skating rink, please. Hold the ice.

Ice skating rinks use huge amounts of water, and the cooling systems are anything but eco-friendly. However, I have to say that a rink made of recycled plastics would have been a nicer touch.
One of the first ice-free rinks just opened in Toyama, Japan and measures 300-square-meters.

Japanese game shows are going to have a field day by adding these ice-less panels into their already funny collection of obstacle courses. I can’t wait.
