How Your School Can Demonstrate Good Environmental Practice

So we have this whole big issue of plastic pollution which is wreaking all kinds of havoc on the environment adversely affecting wildlife, wildlife habitat and us, humans.
David Attenborough has told us all about it;

so has Greta Thunberg and even school children from around the world recently went on strike for a day to drive the message home.

And that is why we are now using recycled plastic for our play equipment. Rather than polluting our planet, plastic bottles and cartons can now be 100% recycled and made into recycled plastic which is a low maintenance and environmentally friendly alternative to timber.
Did you know for example that it takes about 2000 plastic bottles to make just one bench?

So rubbish can be transformed into a useful, high quality playground product.

But there is more. As well as its extremely eco friendly credentials, there are also lots of other benefits:-

• It will never rot or degrade as it can easily tolerate damp conditions
• It will never splinter or have cracks and shakes
• It is extremely low maintenance
• It is hard wearing and exceptionally durable lasting five times longer than timber and does not degrade with age
• It is UV, graffiti, algae and insect resistant

Some very good reasons therefore to make playground products out of this material and by doing so, this demonstrates a good environmental practice within your school.
