Climbing structures made of 76% recycled waste
The new climbing structures are not only more sustainable, but they also serve as an educational aspect for pupils. The climbing structures are made from textile and post-consumer waste sources, which lower the carbon emission footprint by up to 40% CO₂e/kg compared to the standard versions.
Low carbon - how?

Why is that? Climbing and balancing greatly impact motor skills like balance, cross-coordination, and cognitive development. All this, just by having fun.
