Rubber Mulch: Versatility with Rubber Granules
Rubber mulch is made from recycled tires that are transformed into rubber granules. These rubber granules (mulch) go through a rigorous safety check to ensure that there are no metal particles and that each granule comes out non-toxic.

Below are 4 of the most popular uses of rubber mulch.

Playgrounds and child-friendly gyms will find that rubber mulch does a great job in preventing impact-related injuries. Rubber mulch also comes in a wide variety of colors to give children a bright environment to play in. More importantly, rubber mulch is non-toxic.
2. Complements pro and amateur athletic equipment
For those with an active lifestyle, rubber mulch running surfaces offer just the right amount of cushioning for the feet without hindering one’s foot-plant and stride.
