Rubber mulch does not retain or absorb water and hence best options for the horse arena and the yard. Being made from recycled materials, it is environmental friendly. Rubber mulch is available in many colors which do not fade and is aesthetically pleasing.</span></p>

<p>When we look at the things that recycled rubber is being used for today, there are quite a lot of them, but are there enough?</p>
<p>There are things like <a href="http://www.rubbermulch.com/" title="rubber mulch" target="_blank">rubber mulch</a>, containers (large and small), <a href="http://www.rubbermulch.com/playground.htm" title="Rubber Compound" target="_blank">rubber compounds</a> to cover playgrounds and other types of flooring and many more things, but are we really using recycled rubber to its full potential?</p>
<p>We could have furniture that is partly made from <a href="http://www.rubbermulch.com/crumbRubber.asp" title="recycled rubber" target="_blank">recycled rubber</a>, as long as it is coated with a <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1217354686_0">flame retardant</span>  substance.  What about using it in the stage building industry?  These are just two ideas that I’m sure would need a lot more thought and would probably never happen, but why are they not worth thinking about?<span id="more-38"></span></p>
<p>There are so many other different uses for recycled rubber, that no one has even thought of yet and there is money making opportunities out there, even one which while writing this I have thought of myself, but I’m not going to tell you yet, because I want to check it out first.</p>
<p>How about the fairings on motorcycles?  Okay they may weigh a bit more than the usual type of lightweight things that are used to make your bike go faster, but they would not smash to bits when hit, causing more destruction and pain than necessary.  <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1217354686_1">Golf carts</span>, there is an idea, they don’t go fast, there not prone to having accidents and they are not viably eco friendly in the way they are made.  After all most of them are made out of plastic or fiber glass.</p>
<p>If you can make a sturdy container, that is going to be put on a ship and bashed about in rough seas.  Then why not make a pair of crutches out of recycled rubber?  If not the crutches themselves, then what about the grips on the handles or the bits on the bottom to stop you from slipping about?  They are made of rubber any way, so why not recycled rubber?</p>
<p>There has to be thousands more things that we could use recycled rubber for and we need to start using recycled rubber for these non-existent things or we are going to be left with piles of it, or even putting it into our atmosphere, which we are trying to stop by recycling it, aren’t we?   So let’s find some more uses for it.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.rubbermulch.com/" title="Rubber Mulch">Rubber mulch</a> is not toxic. In fact studies conducted by Maryland Environmental Services rubber much can even be swallowed, and pass straight through the digestive system of both humans and animals without harming them. Colored chips are also manufactured using non toxic colorings too. Even the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nyc.gov/html/dep/html/home/home.shtml">DEP </a>(Department of Environmental Protection) approves of rubber mulch, as they are impressed by the production of rubber mulch, which means that non-biodegradable products are recycled and reused instead of ending up on the landfill site. <!--more--></p>
<p>Doesn’t rubber mulch have steel in it that can hurt children and harm horses hooves?</p>
<p>Today’s rubber mulch granules are small rubber chips that are not likely to still have steel wire in them. The best rubber mulch producing companies also have state of the art magnet installed in the production process. This enables these top companies to guarantee that their rubber mulch is 99.99% free of steel.</p>
<p>Just How Safe is Rubber Mulch?</p>
<p>Rubber mulch is the safest surface that can be used for playground and equestrian surfaces as tested by many state and federal agencies like the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. These agencies have completed many studies and tests measuring the shock absorption rates of different surfaces. The one surface keeps coming out on top is rubber mulch. Rubber mulch beats sand, other types of mulch, bluestone and shavings. It reduces the impact when a child falls and helps prevent arthritis in horses legs.</p>
<p>What about surfaces made from other rubber materials?</p>
<p>This is answered in the Under Foot 2000 edition: &#8220;Rubber for footing applications is generally made from recycled tires. There are rubber footings available made from products such as sneakers, golf grips, <span id="lw_1216659048_1" class="yshortcuts">conveyor belts</span>, and lacrosse balls. However, compared to tire rubber they are lighter weight and tend to blow or wash away and will break down over time&#8221;</p>
<p>So you can see that rubber mulch is indeed a good surfacing choice for both <a target="_blank" href="http://www.rubbermulch.com/playground.htm" title="Rubber Mulch Playground">playgrounds </a>and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.rubbermulch.com/arena_footing.htm" title="Arena Footing">equestrian surfacing</a>, with the further added benefits of rubber mulch being indestructible so it doesn’t fall part or decay, it doesn’t freeze as it doesn’t retain moisture and is practically dust free.</p>
