A NEW LIFE FOR PLAYGROUND SURFACING

Waste shouldn’t
be the end of
the story.

We’re developing a new future for playground safety surfacing — recovering end-of-life rubber, processing it for reuse and creating a traceable digital identity for every batch.

A second life
starts with a
better idea.

When playgrounds are refurbished, the safety surfacing beneath them is often treated as waste.

We believe that material deserves another chapter. Rubber Revolution is developing a practical way to recover removed wet pour rubber, process it and resupply suitable material for use in new playground base layers.

It’s an ambitious idea grounded in an existing industry challenge — and built with the people who understand that challenge best.

Real material access

Developed alongside an established surfacing business.

Equipment acquired

Initial processing equipment is in place for development.

Independent validation

Validation received. Assessment details will be shared in a future update.

A more circular
way forward.

From a surface at the end of its first life to material with a new purpose. Our proposed process brings recovery, reuse and traceability together.

01 / RECOVER
Lift with purpose.
Recover existing wet pour surfacing as playgrounds are refurbished.
02 / PROCESS
Prepare for reuse.
Develop methods to separate, grade and process recovered rubber.
03 / REUSE
Put material back to work.
Explore base-layer applications, subject to independent testing and validation.
04 / TRACE
Know its story.
Develop a digital identity to follow material from source to destination.
PHASE 02 / CURRENT

Building the
operation.

We have access to recovered material and have acquired initial processing equipment. Independent validation has now been received. The focus remains on optimising the process, managing contamination, commercial modelling and preparing pilots.

Good ideas work better together.

We’re looking to connect with contractors, recovery specialists and future material buyers who want to help shape a more circular approach.

Better places to play.

Our long-term ambition is to support the communities around us, with a proposed fund for outdoor spaces when the business is commercially successful.
