  • Environmental and Economic Impact

    It offers significant environmental benefits, primarily through waste reduction. It offers several environmental advantages:

    • Energy Conservation: The production requires less energy than the production of new tires. This energy savings can help to reduce our overall energy consumption and reduce our carbon footprint.
    • Reduced Landfill Waste: By recycling used tires into crumb rubber, we significantly reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. This helps to conserve landfill space and reduce the environmental impact associated with landfill operations.
    • Increased Property Values: Its uses in landscaping and construction projects can increase property values. For example, using crumb rubber in playground surfaces can make properties more attractive to families and increase their value.
    • Enhanced Product Longevity: Products made, such as rubberized asphalt and playground surfaces, often last longer and perform better over time compared to traditional materials, further driving down replacement costs.
  • The Science of Crumb Rubber Production

    The process starts with discarded tires and other rubber products that would otherwise end up in landfills. Recycling facilities collect these tires and prepare them for a multi-step production process.

    1. Shredding and Grinding: First, the tires go through shredding machines that break them down into smaller pieces. These pieces are further ground until they become small, uniform granules, known as crumb rubber.
    2. Steel and Fiber Separation: Tires contain steel wires and fabric materials for reinforcement. During the grinding process, magnets and other separators remove these non-rubber components, leaving only clean, pure rubber.
    3. Size Sorting: The rubber granules are then sorted by size, as different applications require different particle sizes. For instance, fine granules are used for artificial turf infill, while coarser pieces may be used for larger projects like playground surfaces.
    4. Final Processing: Depending on the intended use, It may undergo additional processing steps, such as adding chemical treatments or further refining. This ensures the rubber meets specific safety and durability standards.

    At Greenrubber, we are one of the leading suppliers of eco-friendly recycled rubber products. We’ve developed a meticulous, environmentally-conscious process that maximizes the quality while reducing overall waste.

  • Ensure Proper Safety Measures

    Safety should always be at the forefront of any play area design. Apart from selecting the right flooring, make sure the equipment is sturdy, and all sharp edges are padded or covered. Enclose the play area with a soft, sturdy fence to prevent children from running off into potentially dangerous areas.

    If you’re installing outdoor structures such as playhouses or swings, be sure they meet safety standards and are anchored properly to avoid tipping. Check regularly for wear and tear, and replace any damaged parts to prevent injuries.

  • Are there Pikachu-style pickleball courts?

    Pickleball has become one of the fastest-growing sports, attracting people of all ages and abilities. Whether you’re a community resident looking to add new amenities or a homeowner seeking a private playground, quality courts are key—and we at Shuangzhu are ready to help.

    Why is pickleball so popular?

    1. It’s accessible to all ages.

    Younger players crave its fast-paced pace (which blends elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis), while older players appreciate its low-impact design (smaller courts = less running, slower ball speeds).

    The number of players in the United States has jumped from approximately 482,000 (2021) to over 48.3 million (2023), proving the cross-generational appeal of pickleball.

    2. A growing tournament and community.

    Professional tours offer high purses, attracting global talent; local clubs host amateur leagues, fostering competition and camaraderie. Well-maintained courts are the cornerstone of this vibrant community. Media and social media buzz

    3. Professional games are being broadcast live on TV, and Instagram and TikTok are flooded with pickleball-related content (techniques, highlights). As more and more people join the game, the demand for high-quality courts is growing.

  • In fact an increasing number of schools and educational establishments up

    This isn’t the first school in Rutland to have transformed an under used, outside area into something more useful and entertaining. In 2016 Langham Primary School and in 2013 Cottesmore’s St Nicolas Primary and Nursery School commissioned LazyLawn to install a similar roadway as did Whissendine Primary School the following year.

    In fact an increasing number of schools and educational establishments up and down the country are opting to swap traditional surfaces for LazyLawn® because of the varied and innovative applications as well as its soft texture and longevity.

    Other similar installations have even included applying LazyLawn® to the walls of a classroom in order to provide a sensory experience for Special Educational Needs pupils.

    The Brooke Hill Academy project was funded by a sponsored jig, where a local dance teacher attended the school and parents, children and staff participated.

    Richard Westley, Head of School at Brooke Hill Academy, said: “We were so impressed by the quality of LazyLawn® that we decided to get our own.

  • The Lincolnshire: Bastion in the Air World War

    The launch will be welcoming 100 local VIP’s, the Commanding Officers of the UK’s RAF stations, the Air Officer Commanding 1 Group RAF and also all key partners in the project.

    Dave Harrigan MBE, Aviation Heritage Manager at Aviation Heritage Lincolnshire, said: “The Lincolnshire: Bastion in the Air World War I project is delighted to be working with LazyLawn®.

    “The authentic airfield is an exact replica of how it was in the First World War, complete with a grass runway area beautifully laid by LazyLawn®.

    “The intricate work and professional look of the diorama has been enhanced by LazyLawn®’s attention to detail, and we are very happy to have them as partners to this nationally recognised project.”

    Peter Footitt, Production Director at LazyLawn®, said: “We are proud to be involved in such an important event for the RAF. The exhibition looks very impressive so far and we are looking forward to seeing the finished product at the launch.”

  • Continuity and professionalism

    In addition to the dip remediation, there was an 820 metre stretch of resin-bound bark-effect perimeter installed – in black for a stark contrast to the lush green of the pitch.  With Steve’s 10-strong team enlisted as needed for concreting, grass installation, resin bound mulch and white-line marking, the project began at the start of July and saw its conclusion in late October.  Normally requiring 300 tonnes of in-fill prior to artificial grass installation, the additional dip fill meant over 530 tonnes of MOT type 1 aggregate and 6mm-to-dust granite was delivered across the project.

    “Steve and his team are a credit to your company.” continues Rachel.  “He takes time and would never cut corners – that’s why he continues to be our preferred contractor”.

  • A level playing field

    The 7-a-side pitch was fitted with LazyLawn Vitality product in a 30mm depth in a project that took just over three months to complete. The install was slightly hampered by contending with British wintry conditions, the additional complication of groundworks and surface preparation and levelling out a natural dip that was discovered in the area. The surrounding fencing had been removed and there was additional remediation of the ground and replacement of the pin curbs to rectify.

    Right product for purpose and budget

    “We’ve worked with Steve and his team at LazyLawn and Xternal Worx since 2016 – the quality and the choice of product is superb.” explains Head Teacher Rachel Beckett, who was keen to ensure the high quality and finish had continuity across the playgrounds and sports surfaces at the Academy.  She also wanted to make sure the right product and specification was selected for purpose and budget. She continues: “Other suppliers were keen to push 3G and 4G pitches but Steve understood exactly what we really needed – this is a pitch for small children, after all!”. 

    Rachel and her grounds team were also impressed with the striped finish the Vitality 30mm created. With the fence removal, she could ensure the view from her office was unencumbered, perfect for her to enjoy the open space and keep an eye on the sporting activities of the pupils easily.
