Rubber Bark™ on Playgrounds Unlimited and other news

One of our distributors, Playgrounds Unlimited in the San Francisco Bay Area, has a great web page about Rubber Bark™ and its safety as a ground cover for playgrounds. Check it out.

Tire-Derived Products (TDP) Grants from CalRecycle for public projects still has an undetermined start date when applications are available. However, one, if they are so inclined, may join this Listserv and CalRecycle will contact you, via email, when the dates are known.

CalRecycle also put up this neat web page about Greenroads, a project that promotes tire-derived products as road paving material (rubberized asphalt concrete, or RAC) and Tire Derived Aggregate (TDA), material such as Rubber Bark™!

Also, did you see the article about Rubber Bark™ and CalRecycle's grant program in the Merced-Sun Star?

And lastly, remember this post about rubber mulch as art, with a link to a video of a sculpture largely made up of recycled tire mulch? Well, rubber mulch has again found itself in the illustrious art world, but this time it has taken dance as its medium to express creativity. In a New York Times review of "Wilderness," a moving dance installation, it compares walking on an oval patch of rubber mulch to "walking on foam" calling it "a sensation both playful and eerie."
