Rubber mulch generally consists of either waste tire buffings or nuggets of rubber from tires that are ground up whole, after having their steel bands removed. Almost any tire can be used to make rubber mulch, including passenger vehicle tires and large truck and trailer tires. Buffings are produced from recycled truck tire tread when the remainder of the worn-down tread is removed from the tire prior to retreading.
Why You Should Use Rubber Mulch For Your Playgrounds
By Sameep Shah
Rubber mulch is one of the very popular forms of flooring on most playgrounds these days. This is because of its ability to break the falls of any kid and its bouncing ability. Rubber mulch is made from recycled tire materials that are available as long people still continue to use tires.
Using rubber mulch is an extremely effective way of minimizing the degree of injuries any child might normally sustain on the playgrounds. Rubber mulch can be applied to any playground that has previous surfaces and it is more easily affordable than asphalt, granite and grass as playground flooring material.
