Abacus Playgrounds is launching a new blend of 100% recycled playground surfacing, which can actively help schools to hit new sustainability targets.
The range is introduced following the news that the UK is failing to meet long-term sustainability goals due to ill-defined targets. The range, which is natural looking, non-toxic and completely inert, is an ideal investment which can benefit children and the environment.
While the government looks to revise figures showing a “decline in recycling in the UK” to ensure resource efficiency rises, schools and play facility owners are encouraged to invest in environmentally-friendly, 100% recycled playground surfacing to promote safe, creative play while also protecting the environment.
“This is an ideal investment for schools and play facilities,” explains Bill Worthington of Abacus Playgrounds. “It has everything needed for soft, safe external play, as well as actively encouraging recycling and using 100% recycled materials to ensure no harm comes to the environment, or your pupils. In essence, it ensures safe play, for both children and the environment. ”
Mulchbond is available in 6 colours and each square metre contains one recycled tyre. It is also porous, ensuring fast drainage, offers no dispersement or scattering and is very hygienic, thus won’t attract unwanted animals or pests. Importantly, it complies with BS EN 1177:2008, which minimises unwanted injuries to children.
Schools and facility owners interested in revamping their playgrounds, whilst at the same time taking action to improve nationwide recycling efforts, are urged to contact Abacus to discuss how their Mulchbond range can create a fun, eye-catching and, above all, sustainable play surface for their school.
