Rhino Play Celebrate Surge In Demand For Recycled Plastic Playground Equipment

LEADING commercial playground specialists Rhino Play has reported that recycled plastic playground equipment featured in 50% of their summer installation projects, marking a significant shift in purchasing preferences among educational institutions and local authorities.

The surge in demand for Rhino Play's recycled plastic range highlights growing recognition of the long-term benefits these sustainable solutions offer, including reduced maintenance costs and extended lifespan compared to traditional materials.

"We're seeing a definite trend towards sustainability that also makes financial sense for our clients," said Stuart Hunt, Head of Sales at Rhino Play. "Schools and councils in particular are recognising that while the initial investment might be comparable to traditional equipment, the virtually maintenance-free nature of recycled plastic delivers substantial cost savings over the equipment's lifetime. These installations won't rot, splinter, or require treating or painting - meaning institutions can redirect maintenance budgets to other priorities."

Rhino Play's recycled plastic playground equipment is manufactured through their partnership with DCW Polymers, using 100% recycled plastic waste collected from businesses across the South West. Each component carries a 25-year guarantee, significantly longer than traditional timber alternatives, offering exceptional value for budget-conscious educational and community organisations.

The company's commitment to sustainability extends beyond materials. By transforming waste destined for landfill into durable playground equipment, Rhino Play helps clients enhance their environmental credentials while creating engaging play spaces that support children's development and wellbeing.
The recycled plastic range includes a comprehensive selection of playground favourites, from climbing frames and ramps to benches, fencing, and themed play units. Available in classic black or brown that mimics the appearance of timber, the equipment combines aesthetic appeal with environmental responsibility.

"The feedback from our summer installations has been overwhelmingly positive," Hunt added. "Clients appreciate that they're making an environmentally responsible choice without compromising on quality, safety or play value. Children get robust, splinter-free equipment that stands up to heavy use in all weather conditions, while administrators appreciate the long-term value and minimal upkeep requirements."

As demand continues to grow, Rhino Play is expanding its recycled plastic range to offer even more options for schools, nurseries, local authorities, and community groups looking to create sustainable play spaces.
