Play is nature. We do our best to preserve it. Starting now, we can make colourful playgrounds with 95% recycled materials*.
*95% post-consumer recycled waste used in HDPE panels, the Hercules Rope yarn, and the TexMade™ posts.
BLOQX Climbing
Using BLOQX™ panels made from 75% post-consumer recycled waste instead of virgin plastic reduces carbon emissions on the panels. BLOQX Climbing panels are made from 75% post-consumer recycled waste, e.g. household waste, and the Teal colour version is made from 75% ocean waste from the maritime industry like old fishing nets and ropes –
Robinia Products
Using nature’s materials, such as Robinia and pine wood from responsible forestry, where wood is bred for harvesting, and both planting and harvesting are carefully controlled, resulting in highly durable playgrounds. Robinia does not need any chemical wood preservatives. Robinia products are also available with FSC® certification (C004450). -
Rotomoulded Components
Colored rotationally molded components used for Supernova, Spinner Bowl, Tipi Carousel etc. made from 33% recycled waste, e.g. household waste. The blue-green version is made from recycled waste from the ocean - Made Green.
Extruded Aluminium
Extruded aluminium profiles are made using lower-carbon aluminium – . Using lower-carbon aluminium profiles produced with renewable energy sources instead of using aluminium profiles made with traditional energy sources reduces carbon emissions.

TexMade™ Posts
Using TexMade™ posts made from >95% post-consumer recycled textile and plastic waste instead of steel posts reduces carbon emissions by 74% CO2e/kg when comparing 1m steel post (2mm pipe thickness) to 1m TexMade™ post.
Our highly durable, innovative TexMade™ posts are made from >95% post-consumer recycled textile and plastic waste –
Tempered Corocord Rope with EcoYarn™
Our Corocord ropes are designed for optimal strength, abrasion resistance and all-weather durability. These ropes are made to withstand vandalism, ensuring longevity and safety in various environments. The ropes are tightly wrapped with EcoYarn™ in >95% post-consumer recycled material, which is melted onto each individual strand. This process enhances the rope’s durability and significantly reduces waste. Corocord ropes are available in eight colours and six dimensions (7mm, 16mm, 19mm, 21mm, 22mm, and 23mm) and cater to different needs while maintaining their environmental benefits. Depending on the size, the ropes have either a steel or fibre core, ensuring optimal application performance —
EcoCore™ HDPE Panels
Now in all Colours
From 2024, all panels in EcoCore™ HDPE boast various hues derived from carefully selected, . Each shade tells a story of environmental stewardship, proving that recycled waste can be seamlessly woven into every design without sacrificing aesthetics. The panel in the colour teal is made from post-consumer ocean recycled waste collected from the maritime industry, such as fishing nets, ropes and trawl nets. All other colours are made from post-consumer household waste. Using EcoCore™ HDPE panels made from 95% post-consumer recycled waste instead of panels made from virgin plastic reduces carbon emissions by up to 82% CO2e/kg.

The new look of a reduced carbon footprint
Architect Alexander Sundberg assures that TexMade™ posts and plastic alternatives, developed from textile waste and post-consumer sources, rival steel and plastic in durability. Playground solutions can be as colourful as your heart desires – but with a dramatically reduced carbon footprint.

Q&A on products
Made Green means that products are made of up to 95% post-consumer recycled materials such as ocean waste, used textiles, food packaging waste, used plastic bags, etc. Our have approximately 50% reductions in carbon emissions compared to similar traditional products made from virgin sources (Depending on the product).
means products are made from natural hardwoods like Robinia. Robinia is highly durable and does not require any chemical wood preservatives. KOMPAN Robinia products are also available with a FSC® certification (C004450).
Yes, we have very high standards regarding our quality; we have the same high standards when it comes to our new green assortment.
Yes, you can find all CO2e footprint for all our standard products. They can be found in our product sheets on our website.
We make it possible to choose, but we also work on making all our products greener. We have a vast assortment, and it will take time - however, we will get there.
Almost all our products can be recycled again. Our products can be disassembled so that the raw material can be sorted into, e.g., plastic, steel, aluminium, then collected and reused. Some raw materials cannot be recycled again. All wood types are not considered recyclable. HPL, WPC, and Rope are not recyclable. Read more about materials .
