A SAFE AND SUSTAINABLE FALL PROTECTION
Corkeen is the retained fall protection system for playgrounds produced in cork.
The Corkeen system has two layers of cork: a flexible base layer and a firm top layer. This means that the coating will maintain its characteristics even after several years of use, acting as an effective shock absorber protecting against falls.
Cork is a 100 % natural, recyclable, renewable raw material. It is free of toxins, microplastics and endocrine disruptors, making it the ideal material to create playgrounds that respect children and the environment.
NATURAL AND SAFE PLAYGROUND SOLUTIONS WITH CORKBASED
Corkbased uses natural cork, which is free from harmful toxins such as heavy metals, EDC, T-COV, formaldehyde, and PAH. Unlike most fall protection materials, Corkbase does not contain plastic or rubber granules, which can lead to the release of microplastics into the environment. This feature makes Corkbase an eco-friendly and sustainable solution for playgrounds.
CORK BASE IS SUSTAINABLE AND CIRCULAR FOR SEVERAL REASONS
First, it is made from cork, a natural and renewable raw material that can be harvested from cork oak trees without harming them. The trees can continue to produce cork for up to 200 years, making it a sustainable resource.
Second, the production of cork base does not involve the use of harmful chemicals, toxins, or microplastics, which makes it an environmentally friendly alternative to other playground surfacing materials.
Third, cork base can be recycled and reused at the end of its lifespan, contributing to a circular economy where waste is minimized, and resources are conserved.
THE ADVANTAGES OF CORKBASED
FALL PROTECTION OVER RUBBER
One of the major environmental concerns with conventional rubber-based retained fall protection systems is the use of plastic in their production. Many rubber products, including those used in playgrounds, contain plastic and rubber granules that can break down and be released into the environment as microplastics. These microplastics can accumulate in soil and water, causing harm to wildlife and potentially entering the food chain. Additionally, these microplastics can take hundreds of years to break down, leading to long-term pollution. By using a natural material like cork instead of rubber, the Corkbased system helps to reduce the spread of microplastics and support a more sustainable and circular approach to playground safety.

THE SUSTAINABLE AND SAFE SOLUTION FOR PLAYGROUNDS
As an environmentally conscious person, I highly recommend the use of the Corkbased system for playgrounds. Not only does it provide a safe play environment for children with its high impact absorption and excellent drainage capacity, but it is also made mostly of natural cork – a renewable, recyclable, and biodegradable material.
Using the Cork Base system not only ensures a safer play environment but also has a circular impact by reducing waste and promoting sustainability. Moreover, cork is hypoallergenic and odorless, making it a healthy and comfortable play surface for children.
So, if you are looking for the best play surface for children that also promotes environmental responsibility, the Corkbased system is the ideal choice for you.
A HEALTHY AND HAPPY OPTION FOR KIDS’ PLAYTIME
Is there anything better than the sound of children laughing while playing and having fun on a playground?
This is the essence of Cork Base: cork with a cheerful and keen spirit like that of children.
A comfortable, safe system in the event of a fall that protects the environment to provide today’s children with a better future.
