Rubber Bark™ on The Rubber Beat

Hey everyone, Rubber Bark™ was recently featured on a cool online newsletter entitled The Rubber Beat. 

The newsletter is part of a nonprofit composed on various companies and interests in the rubber industry.

Rubber Bark's article is about its affiliate company Golden By-Products and a tour the RPA (Rubber Pavements Association) experienced of the Golden By-Products/Rubber Bark facility.

Here is a snippet:

"RPA Staff visited Golden By-Products facilities this month, a RPA Producer member company founded by Jim and Karen Barstow in 1967.  During our visit we saw first hand that almond equipment and infrastructure can be used within the tire recycling business. Our hosts Karen & Amber gave us a very informative tour within their facilities, where they manufacture materials for TDF, Asphalt-Rubber and other rubber products for rubberized athletic turf, loose fill and molded rubber products. We also visited Golden’s affiliate company, Ag Link, Inc. managed by Jana and Rob Nairn, where they produce Rubber Bark and polyurethane bound mats for livestock applications."

Watch Rubber Bark™ on Curiosity Quest Goes Green!

We recently received the DVD of Rubber Bark's episode of Curiosity Quest Goes Green! While we are currently converting the video to a more blogger-friendly format, you can check it out on facebook NOW! 

It's cut into two separate parts (through facebook standards) and is available here and here. 

The episode showcases Rubber Bark's eco-friendliness and the mechanics of making the mulch. Plus it also includes a bunch of tips and facts about recycling tires and reusing rubber! Check it out! 

Rubber mulch at Disneyland!

Some of us at Rubber Bark™ recently had the opportunity to visit the happiest place on earth – Disneyland. And we were so excited to see RUBBER MULCH and other recycled tire products such as pour-in-place at Redwood Creek Challenge Trail in California Adventure! We took some pictures of our climbing adventure. Check them out! 

                                 

                            


According to the Disneyland website at the Redwood Creek Challenge trail you can "discover the wonder of the great outdoors" and the site describes it as "a wilderness recreational area featuring the magic of Brother Bear. Explore forested paths, climb lookout towers, swing on rope bridges and zip down suspended slides." 


Great and green fun! 

Check out Rubber Bark™'s payment plan

We at Rubber Bark™ know that times are tough. And that even though times are tough, maintenance and landscaping are still necessary, for multiple reasons, including keeping the value of your property at the highest it can be.

That's why we have a payment plan that can work for you. Super sacks of Rubber Bark™ for large landscaping projects are $600 plus tax and usually $75 for shipping. We understand that most people these days don't have that kind of cash laying around, so our payment plans are tailored to what you CAN pay each month.

What we do is keep your credit card number on file and take out a specified amount each month. It's that simple!

You shouldn't have to go bankrupt to keep your yard, playground, or other outdoor space in tip-top shape. Also, what's great about Rubber Bark™ is that it will last for YEARS to come, so the monthly payments are a long-term investment for a beautiful space.

Update on Katy Perry video with Rubber Bark™

Again, we cannot begin to explain how excited we are that Katy Perry's new music video, currently in production, is using Rubber Bark™ for its set design. We have been getting pictures of the bark every day from the studio, showcasing the scene. Here are a few:

We are wondering what the background scene (in the pictures it is a green screen) is going to look like. Definitely something futuristic, perhaps another planet? Any guesses? 

We asked Steve over at the studio how everyone was liking the Rubber Bark™. He replied with, "Flipping FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! LOVE IT !!!!!!! You ROCK!!!! Yes I love it:)"

 Looks like another good time with Rubber Bark™!
