Ecore Turns Old Gym Flooring into Playgrounds in LA and NY

Ecore has been actively working on projects in both Los Angeles and New York to recycle used gym flooring into playground surfacing. In Los Angeles, they collaborated with local partners to collect old gym floors and process the material into new playground surfaces. This process helps reduce the environmental impact by diverting large amounts of waste from landfills and transforming it into a product that enhances the safety of public play areas.

In New York, Ecore similarly focused on community-driven efforts to repurpose gym flooring. The initiative provided safer and more durable play surfaces for local playgrounds, using the recycled rubberized materials from outdated gym floors. By addressing the needs of urban areas like New York, Ecore is helping communities improve recreational spaces while simultaneously promoting sustainability. These projects showcase Ecore’s commitment to offering practical and eco-friendly solutions that benefit both the environment and the communities they serve.
