We’re celebrating the first Made in UK Day on 9 March 2021

As the appetite to shop locally and support local businesses grows, we’re taking part in the first-ever Made in UK Day on Tuesday 9 March 2021.

The Made in UK Day campaign has been created by Make it British to celebrate their 10 year anniversary.

Safer Surfacing has supplied a total of 87000 kilos of recycled rubber chippings to Chester Zoo. 

That’s about 17500 tyres given a new life as a safety surface after finishing their use on cars in the North West. Those tyres will have driven approximately 350 million miles on the roads in and around Chester! 

Rubber chippings are quickly becoming an industry standard as a safe solution for commercial and residential playgrounds, as well as an alternative for landscaping. Rubber chippings offer many benefits.

This weekend (26th to 28th January) is the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch. This is the 40th year of the survey which started out as an event for children back in 1979. The popularity of the birdwatch has grown so much that it is now the world’s largest wildlife survey. In 2018, 8 million birds were counted during the Big Garden Birdwatch. The total number of birds counted since 1979 is more than 130 million. The birdwatch is important not only for spotting the rare and oddities but also 

We were asked for a solution on top of an office block in Liverpool City Centre. The Stanley Hall building was extensively remodelled with contemporary architectural features. Our task was to turn an unused rooftop into a modern and contemporary space to relax and socialise. 

One of our partner companies specialises in the manufacturing of recycled plastic furniture. We decided to take a table and chairs set, made entirely from bottle tops to the show. We chose these products not only because they are fully recycled, but also because they are high quality and look very good too.

When an item or product comes to the end of its working life it is discarded and becomes waste. End of life tyres (an estimated 100,000 per day in the UK alone) simply cannot be ignored. They can be baled and shipped abroad for incineration or landfill. But what if we can #Revalue them?

A key feature of our rubber chipping is the polyurethane colour coating. The coating means the colour lasts for many years.

Made from recycled car tyres, the 20mm chippings have 99.9% of all metal removed in the recycling process.

We were very kindly asked by Palmer Harding to supply a material that could be used in their London Fashion Week event. Something that can be laid down, moved around and removed when the event was complete.

We were asked by Country Meadows Caravan Park in sunny Mablethorpe to supply a safety tested loose fill playground surface. They had a new playground installed and wanted to add a soft, safe and low cost surface to finish it off. We sent some samples of our 20mm play chippings in our full range of colours for the team to choose from.

With this huge range of customers all wanting our range of rubber chippings products in a variety of sizes and formats we created the following delivery options. These range from an easy to handle 20kg bag up to a walking floor lorry able to deliver 27,000 kg in one go!
