Eco Friendly Polyurethane Running Track Recycled Rubber Athletic Track
Key Advantages: 100% recycled rubber options | Low carbon footprint | Excellent water permeability | LEED‑friendly | Same structural integrity as virgin tracks
Product Overview
This variant of the breathable porous track uses high‑quality recycled rubber granules derived from post‑consumer tires and industrial rubber waste. The open‑cell structure remains unchanged: a single‑component PU binder mixed with recycled base granules, plus a top layer of fine recycled or virgin EPDM (optional). It meets World Athletics requirements for non‑competition venues while reducing material costs by up to 30% and diverting waste from landfills.
Ideal for school playgrounds, municipal jogging paths, urban greenways, and eco‑resorts where both performance and environmental responsibility matter.

FAQ – Recycled Track
Q: Does recycled rubber smell or leach chemicals?
→ No. Our granules are washed, de‑odourized and tested for heavy metals (RoHS, REACH).
Q: Shorter lifespan than virgin?
→ Slightly, but 8–10 years with proper maintenance is standard. For minimal extra cost you can upgrade top layer to virgin EPDM.
