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?
