Sustainability means using cultural, ecological and economic resources only to the extent that they are also available to future generations in the same quality and quantity.
We made it our task to use our resources sensibly and to go new ways in order to do our part to protect and preserve flora and fauna.

Usage of resources
For many years we produce durable and environmentally friendly playground equipment for young and old. Due to the high durability and our guarantee periods, subsequent purchases are reduced and resources are saved in the long term.
The subject of sustainability does not only play a major role in our products, but also in our daily work. To optimize our CO2 balance and the use of natural raw materials, we have improved various aspects of our workflow:
The subject of sustainability does not only play a major role in our products, but also in our daily work. To optimize our CO2 balance and the use of natural raw materials, we have improved various aspects of our workflow:
- Generating solar energy for the company through photovoltaic systems
- Complete heat supply by heating with wood waste from the production facilities
- Biological sewage plant
- Converting company vehicles to e-mobility (including our own solar charging station)
- Production at one location to avoid additional transport routes
- Planting new trees

Materials
Stainless steel
As early as 1993, we produced the first playgrounds with stainless steel posts. What was considered exotic back then ist now well established - for a good reason. Stainless steel does not only have a high quality, it also has many ecological advantages:
- 100 % recyclable
- Stainless steel consists of more than 50% recycled steel
- Advantage compared to galvanized steel: corrosion resistance without painting or primer
- The production of one ton of stainless steel needs less energy than producing a ton of PET, polypropylene or aluminium
- Durable and robust
- Weather-resistant and rust-free
- Thanks to the environmentally friendly glass ball blasting, the surface gains pleasant haptics
