Green Materials
Healthy play and a healthy planet make for happier kids
At Playworld, we believe that The World Needs Play®. We also believe we need to protect our planet as we play. By building a green playground, you can bring more of both to the world.
The key to planning a green playground is to select the right playground equipment manufacturer. How environmentally friendly are their products and manufacturing policies? Here are some questions to consider:
Is the manufacturer ISO 140001 certified, which ensures they have a comprehensive environmental management system in place?
Are their products PVC-free?
Are their products made with recycled materials?
Are their products recyclable?
Is their packaging environmentally friendly?
Do their green efforts permeate every aspect of the company and culture?
