Repurposed For Play
Sustainability in Every Step
At The Surfacing Group, sustainability isn’t an add-on—it’s how we work. Through a connected system of collecting, processing, and installing recycled rubber, we transform waste into safer, durable surfaces that bring play to life in communities across the country
The Big Idea
Turning Waste Into Playful Possibility
Every year, millions of pounds of rubber waste are discarded. We see opportunity. By uniting our companies, partners, and processes, The Surfacing Group keeps valuable materials out of landfills and puts them back to work—creating playgrounds, recreation spaces, and athletic surfaces designed for people and the planet.
The Process
4 Steps to Smarter Supply and Repurposed Play
Step 1: Partnering
Partnering for Greater Impact
We proudly partner with trusted distributors, contractors, and collection partners to ensure discarded rubber materials are captured, not wasted. These long-term relationships allow us to create a reliable, scalable recycling pipeline that benefits communities nationwide.
Step 2: Collecting
Collecting with Purpose
Our teams manage the collection and transportation of rubber waste from multiple sources. By taking responsibility for what others discard, we ensure materials are tracked, handled responsibly, and prepared for their next life.
Step 3 : Converting
Converting Waste into Raw Potential
Collected materials are cleaned, processed, and engineered into high-quality rubber components. Through advanced recycling techniques and continuous innovation, we create safe, reliable materials ready to perform in demanding recreational environments.
Step 4 : Repurposing
Repurposing for Playful, Community Experiences
The result is more than recycled material—it’s places where people gather, move, and play. From playgrounds and splash pads to tracks and fitness areas, our surfaces are designed to be durable, safe, and environmentally responsible.
