"On behalf of LTR Products, we are proud to work with KaBOOM! again to help build a new playground that will bring joy to the children of Ke Kula 'o Samuel M. Kamakau Charter School," said Brad Pittam, general manager of LTR Products. "Pinnacle Rubber Mulch is an eco-friendly alternative to wood mulch that also offers better fall height protection. We know that our Pinnacle Rubber Mulch will help to create a safe and fun playground for students to enjoy for many years."
Ke Kula 'o Samuel M. Kamakau Charter School is one of Hawaii's 31 public charter schools that offer educational programs reflective of the community from which they were established. The school blends a historic and culturally diverse landscape of Hawaii's past with innovation, new technologies and academic excellence to succeed in a global world.
As a playground safety surface, a six-inch layer of Pinnacle Rubber Mulch will cushion a child's fall from as high as 16 feet using half of the material compared to wood mulch. Additionally, rubber mulch is non-allergenic, non-toxic, and harmless to plants, pets and children. It is also clean, minimizes airborne dust and particles, and does not splinter like wood mulch.
Unlike wood mulch, Pinnacle Rubber Mulch is resistant to wind and water erosion, bug and rodent infestation, and fading caused by sunlight and decomposition, making it the ideal playground safety surface for Hawaii's climate. It will not compress like wood mulch and remains bright and plush for at least 12 years with minimal maintenance. As an eco-friendly product, Pinnacle Rubber Mulch not only saves trees from the shredder, but also provides an outlet for the millions of scrap tires collected and processed annually.
