Eco Friendly Composite Running Track Recycled Athletic Running Track For Green Building Projects
Key Advantages: Up to 85% recycled content | Carbon footprint reduced by 40% | No performance loss vs virgin systems | Fully recyclable at end of life | RoHS & REACH compliant
The Eco‑Recycled Composite Running Track uses post‑industrial and post‑consumer rubber for all three layers. The base and reinforcement layers contain 100% recycled SBR from truck and car tyres. The top layer uses fine recycled EPDM from industrial offcuts, which is then coated with a coloured, UV‑stable PU sealer. Despite the recycled content, mechanical properties meet World Athletics training standards. This track diverts approximately 2.5 tonnes of waste rubber from landfill per 1,000 m².
Ideal for eco‑friendly schools, green community centres, sports clubs with sustainability mandates, and any project seeking LEED points or environmental certification.

Q: Does recycled rubber smell or leach?
→ No. Our recycled granules are washed, de‑odourised and tested for heavy metals.
Q: Is it more expensive than standard composite?
→ Slightly less expensive due to recycled content. Eco version is actually 10–15% cheaper than virgin‑based composite.
