FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Good questions.
Clear answers.

The essentials on recovery, reuse and how to get involved — with a clear view of what’s available and what’s still in development.

01

The basics

What is Rubber Revolution?

We’re developing a circular recovery system for end-of-life playground safety surfacing. The aim is to recover removed wet pour rubber, process it for reuse in suitable base-layer applications and eventually give each batch a traceable digital identity.

What is wet pour surfacing?

Wet pour is the rubber safety surfacing used in playgrounds. Our focus is on the material removed when those surfaces are refurbished or replaced, and how it could be given another useful life.

What stage is the business at?

We are in Phase 2 — Develop the Operation. We have access to recovered material and have acquired initial processing equipment. Independent validation has now been received. Processing optimisation, contamination management, commercial modelling and pilot preparation remain central to our development. Explore the roadmap.

02

Recovery & supply

Which materials are you focused on?

Our current focus is removed wet pour playground safety surfacing. Material acceptance requirements, including contamination limits and preparation requirements, will need to be agreed before any collection or delivery. We are not advertising a general waste-recycling service.

Can you collect material from my site?

Collection coverage, capacity and scheduling have not yet been published. Tell us your location, likely volume and project timeframe so we can discuss potential involvement as the operation develops. Please agree arrangements with us before sending or delivering material. View the contractor enquiry route.

Is there a minimum quantity or a published price list?

We have not yet published minimum quantities or standard recovery and supply prices. Information about volumes, material condition, location and timing will help us develop the commercial model. You can include approximate tonnes or area in an enquiry.

What could the recovered rubber be used for?

The proposed application is reusable material for playground base layers. Any specific use must be supported by the relevant assessment findings and requirements of the surfacing system. We are not claiming that the material is suitable for every surface or application.

Can I buy recovered material now?

A commercial product range, specifications and supply availability have not yet been published. We welcome expressions of interest from prospective buyers while the operation develops. Explore a potential partnership.

03

Validation & traceability

Have you received independent validation?

Yes, independent validation has been received. The organisation, assessment scope and detailed findings have not yet been published on this site. Those details will allow us to describe supported applications precisely. Read the development update.

Does validation mean every application is certified?

We are not making a blanket certification claim. Validation should be understood within the scope of the specific assessment. Any performance, suitability or certification statement needs to be supported by the relevant documentation for that application.

Is digital batch tracking available yet?

Digital identity and QR-linked batch traceability are planned for Phase 3. They are not yet an available commercial product. The ambition is to connect information about a batch’s source, processing and destination. Read about the planned approach.

Can you provide environmental impact figures?

We have not published verified impact statistics. Future reporting may include tonnes recovered, tonnes reused and verified waste diversion, supported by suitable records and evidence. We will not present targets or ambitions as achieved results.

04

Getting involved

Who can become a founding industry partner?

We are interested in conversations with surfacing contractors, playground refurbishment businesses, recovery operators and prospective recycled-material buyers. Councils, schools and other organisations can also contact us about relevant projects or potential collaboration.

What is a letter of intent?

For this programme, it is a non-binding expression of commercial interest, subject to further discussion. It helps us understand potential partnerships, volumes and timeframes; it is not a completed supply or collection agreement.

How do I contact you while the forms are being prepared?

The website’s enquiry forms are currently inactive previews and cannot submit information. For general enquiries, email hello@rubberrevolution.co.uk. Include your company, location and a brief outline of your interest.

Is the Community Fund open for applications?

Not yet. The Rubber Revolution Community Fund is proposed, with an ambition to reinvest a proportion of future commercial success into outdoor community spaces. It is not accepting applications or distributing grants. Read about the community ambition.
