Our Recycling Capabilities

Commercial Playgrounds

When it’s time to upgrade or replace a playground, Evolve Rubber ensures your old rubber surfacing is removed and disposed of responsibly. We specialise in handling EPDM and SBR playground surfaces, transporting them to our licensed facility in Wem where they are recycled into new, safe, and durable rubber products. Full disposal documentation is provided, giving local authorities, schools, and contractors confidence in both compliance and environmental care.

Sports Surfaces

From running tracks to basketball courts and 4G pitches, Evolve Recycle delivers tailored disposal solutions for the sports industry. Working alongside Replay Sports Maintenance, we oversee the complete removal of 4G surfaces, from the artificial grass to sand, infill, and shock pad layers, as well as the recycling of EPDM and other rubber-based surfaces. Our expertise ensures sports facilities meet compliance requirements while supporting performance-led, sustainable reuse of materials.

End Of Life Tyres

Evolve Recycle offers an ethical and compliant route for disposing of all types of end-of-life tyres, from cars and vans to agricultural, HGV, and industrial vehicles. At our licensed facility, tyres are processed and transformed into new rubber materials used in products such as sports surfaces, playground flooring, and landscaping solutions. We provide the required documentation, ensuring your business meets legal obligations while actively contributing to the circular economy.
