As home of the renowned BBC Earth Experience, Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) is proud to launch Habitat Café, offering visitors a unique sustainable dining experience inside the exhibit.
Melbourne is the second city globally to host the awe-inspiring BBC Earth Experience and is the only place in the Asia-Pacific region where visitors will be able to experience this extraordinary attraction.
As a leader in sustainability, MCEC aims to inspire others in the event industry to make conscious choices for a greener future, aligning perfectly with the messaging of the BBC Earth Experience.
After immersing themselves in the captivating journey through the seven continents of the world, visitors can indulge in a delicious range of sustainable drinks and snacks at MCEC’s newly launched Habitat Café.
The menu has been thoughtfully curated to ensure that each item is responsibly sourced, supporting local Victorian suppliers and reducing emissions from transportation.
Even the café furniture has been carefully sourced with durability in mind, offering visitors a complete eco-friendly dining experience.
Visitors can enjoy carbon-neutral coffee, served in an edible cup. The edible cups are made from locally sourced oats and grains, and designed by Good-Edi, a Melbourne start-up on a mission to prevent single-use cups from ending up in landfill.
Good-Edi was discovered through MCEC’s industry partner, The Startup Network, demonstrating the strength of both organisations to foster collaboration and innovation.
Habitat Café also features Circle Harvest snacks made from insect protein, the fastest-growing alternative protein in the world.
