Ecoscape Mulch
Ecoscape have found a way to deal with the increasing problem of Recycling Rubber. Tyres especially are notoriously difficult to recycle due to the chemical cross links.
Ecoscapes shred the rubber into a mulch which can be laid onto any ground surface loose, or mixed with a binder to provide a 'softbond' surface of its own, this takes away any need for other materials such as wood, quarried slate or stone etc. It also means a huge reduction in groundworks, usually meaning no mechanical diggers and no need to dispose of any dug up material. The mulch is virtually maintenance free, so less travelling to the site.
Wherever possible, Ecoscapes reduce their miles, and therefore their carbon footprint by consolidating shipments with partners such as 'aggregate industries' who manage multiple product lines, which reduces the number of vehicles arriving at individual stores. When they are delivering to individual property, they consolidate shipments through the pallet force network.
As the mulch is intended for use in children's play areas, Ecoscapes have devoted a great deal of attention to the safety and quality of the 'play experiance', so their brand carries some unique guarantees:
The shreds are comfortable to walk on and are ADA approved for wheelchair access.
100% non toxic, ingestion tested and have a 'toy safety' rating
Testing to BSEN1177 at 50mm depth for playground use recorded a best ever CFH of over 3m
Flammability tested (inc BS5852) and classified as non-flammable
As a company on the whole Ecoscapes is very 'Green', they even provide showers to employees who want to cycle to work, carefully select their stationery and office equipment, they also utilise modern technology to reduce their travel.
Floral & Hardy are proud to have them on board as contributors for our Hampton Court Flower Show Garden.
