Recycled Plastic Playground Equipment

Our recycled plastic playground equipment has a very long service life and should prevent 3-4 replacements of the same equipment over its lifetime. It will never rot, maintaining its structual integrity for decades. This longevity saves a huge amount of landfill waste, emissions, downtime and cost. The extended lifespan makes it particularly cost-effective for high-traffic sites and projects where long-term value is prioritised over initial investment.

We understand the importance of playground safety and sustainability, which is why our sustainable play structures are designed to meet stringent safety standards while promoting innovative playground design. All the recycled playground equipment will be manufactured to relevant industry standards (BS EN 1176/77). All the recycled playground equipment comes with a 25-year guarantee and is a fantastic alternative to traditional timber playground products, especially when installed in areas that are particularly damp and wet.

Regularly inspect and maintain the equipment for any signs of wear or damage, ensuring that all components remain secure and intact. A simple wash with soapy water and a soft brush can remove dirt and grime, while a periodic rinse with water will help keep the surfaces clean and visually appealing. Unlike traditional wood, recycled plastic does not require painting or sealing, significantly reducing upkeep costs.

There are many benefits to choosing recycled plastic playground equipment over traditional timber apparatus, with the below just a few of the features available:

• Non-rotting, non-splinter material. This mean optimum safety for your students and pupils.
• Low-maintenance – unlike wooden playground products which require treatments and will disintegrate over time, recycled plastic is a high-quality material that won’t need replacing.
