Playtop impact-absorbing surfacing is unique. Not only is it making children's playgrounds safer around the world but it is doing so using recycled commercial-vehicle tyres and sports shoes.

It is the only surface of its kind that uses recycled sports shoes in the form of Nike Grind. A black Playtop playground surface that incorporates Nike Grind is up to 92% recycled material. And every square metre contains rubber from approximately 20 pairs of trainers and one commercial-vehicle tyre. Using rubber granulate from tyres and trainers in this way prevents them ending up in already overflowing landfill sites.

Playtop is made from rubber granules, bound together and laid in situ. The continuous surface is very strong, yet soft enough to absorb the impact from a fall. Due to the way Playtop is installed, games and activities can be inlaid to add colour and fun to the play environment. Playtop Safer Surfacing is ideal for outdoor use as it is completely porous, extremely strong and requires very little regular maintenance.

First installed in 1977, Playtop pioneered the UK market and it is now sold and installed Internationally by licensees in many other countries. In total, more than one and a half million square metres have been installed worldwide.
