Kompan are an Aussie company that build playgrounds for kids using almost all recycled material.
Many of the plastic pieces are made from recycled packaging or salvaged ocean waste, which is also fully recyclable at the end of it's life.
Their main product catalogue (digital of course!) states that 80% of the emissions from their industry comes from raw materials, so they've taken the challenging path to work with more sustainable options, which they talk about as either Born Green or Made Green.
Born Green raw materials refer to low-carbon, sustainably grown natural materials (eg wood). Made Green are the recycled materials like plastics, textiles, metals and other stuff.
Simple philosophy, nicely summarised, and they did just enough to catch my attention in the playground this morning. Lovely example of climate tech in maybe a slightly unexpected industry.
