A greener and aesthetically appealing choice

Our nature playgrounds are crafted from nature's most durable wood type - Robinia. Robinia wood is known for its hardwearing and durable properties that make it perfect for the great outdoors.

There are 2 ways to go

1. Playgrounds that are 'made green'

Playgrounds made from KOMPAN's specially developed green materials. We use recycled waste sources within our materials to produce play products with a lower carbon footprint.

2. Playgrounds that are 'born green'

Playgrounds made with nature's own materials - also known as nature playgrounds. For these products, we use Robinia wood from responsible forestry. You can even choose to go greener with FSC certified wood.

The wood we use

A playful tree sort

The Robinia tree is crooked and whimsical in its look. Robinia bark has deep lines that make the trees look rustic and wise.

Neatly planted rows of young trees with dense round green canopies in a bright, grassy field.

Responsible forestry

Robinia grows faster than any other tree sort and is harvested from responsible forests in Europe.
