Making Kids Safer, One Playground at a Time

Unlike our competitors who grind tires to small pieces to get most of the wire out, we keep our Rubber Mulch in silver dollar sized pieces to prevent them from getting stuck in kids shoes and being transported back into Buildings. The result is a product that will not float, blow away and exceeds the testing parameters of critical fall height safety of the detroit testing laboratory at 6 inches.

One of the most important features to consider when installing playground equipment is the surfacing. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), over 550,000 children receive emergency room care for playground equipment-related injuries each year. The majority of these injuries result from falls to the ground surface below the equipment rather than falls from one part of the equipment to another. While surfacing options are endless, rubber mulch has superior shock absorbing properties according to the CPSC (Handbook for Public Playground Safety). But not all rubber mulch is the same. Outdoor Synthetic Surfaces premium rubber mulch is ABSOLUTELY 100% metal free, because it is made from recycled Non-tire Rubber. All other playground rubber mulch products are made from dirty recycled waste tires, which inherently contain wire. Imbedded tire wire is very difficult to completely remove and can pose safety issues.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the U.S. Testing Company, and the State of Illinois, among numerous state and federal agencies, independent laboratories and licensed testing companies have conducted various tests designed to measure the shock-absorption of various surface materials as they relate to falling objects.
