Safer Surfacing Ltd Information

Innovators. Team Players. Creators. Tyres are a difficult material to dispose of. They are designed to be resilient, hard wearing, long lasting, which is great when they’re on our vehicles. But what happens once the tread is worn, or they get a puncture? The UK alone produces 55 million waste tyres a year. 55 million! That’s a lot of waste rubber! There are now laws in the UK meaning thankfully they cannot go to landfill, so what can be done next? That’s where we come in. Innovators, team players, creators, we are committed to making this once redundant waste product into something useful again. After all, it has so many great properties; chop it up and ‘hey presto!’ it lets water drain efficiently from soil, it can suppress weeds, it doesn’t blow away like wood bark, and it is a soft, bouncy material perfect for cushioning falls. So we got to thinking, where would this be a useful product? In our gardens of course! But there was one last problem; what if we don’t want it to just be black? What if our Moroccan themed garden would suit Terracota borders? What if our children wanted a pirate ship play area, with blue chippings underneath for their sea? So we started experimenting with colour, trying over and over to find the right sort of system to get our rubber chips beautifully coloured, and none of that colour to come off on our little ones bright white socks! Then one day, huzah! we cracked it, and Safer Surfacing was born. We pour our heart and soul into our work. Nothing means more to us than the satisfaction of our customers.
