Play environments

For schoolyards, neighbourhoods, parks and sports facilities, we offer a range of products for the design of play and leisure areas. From play equipment and benches to picnic tables, waste bins and planters. When designing, we look at the available space, the users, the surface and the desired use, so that the different components come together logically in one environment.

  • Play equipment made from recycled plastic

  • Suitable for intensive outdoor use

From used plastic to new play equipment

Our circular play equipment is made from more than 90% recycled plastic, sourced from post-consumer waste. Think of plastic packaging and other products that have already had a first life. These materials are collected, sorted, cleaned and processed into new raw materials for the production of play equipment.

Together with our partner Westfalia Spielgeräte, which has been working with recycled plastics since 2004, we give these materials a new purpose. Reuse is central to the production process. This means that the core of our plastic components is made from recycled material, and for coloured versions only new plastic is used for the thin outer layer.

From used material...

to new raw material...

... into years of play fun!

Built to last

Circular use of materials goes further than reusing raw materials. Just as important is how long a play unit lasts. Our play equipment made from recycled plastic has been developed for years of intensive use in outdoor spaces. The material is splinter-free, tear-resistant, colourfast and able to withstand a wide range of weather conditions. In addition, it requires little maintenance because painting or impregnation is not necessary.

By choosing recycled plastic consciously, we combine a long service life with quality, safety and a lower need for new raw materials. On the plastic construction we provide a 20-year guarantee. In addition, our play equipment from the Jubilics series carries the independent environmental label Der Blaue Engel, which sets strict requirements for the environmental properties of products.

This is how you choose a play environment that invites children to play and move for generations, with attention to quality, maintenance and responsible material use.

Get to know Loopie, our circular play friend!

Loopie is our cheerful mascot and introduces children to circularity in a playful way. Because did you know that plastic waste doesn’t always have to be the end? From used packaging to new play equipment: Loopie shows how waste becomes valuable again and turns into years of play fun.

Loopie sets the example himself. He is made from more than 90% recycled plastic, the same material we use for our circular play equipment. This makes visible what we stand for: less waste, more reuse and above all lots of play fun.

Everything for play environments

More about play environments

W&H Play helps municipalities, schools, childcare locations, recreation parks and public space installers to create safe, colourful and future-proof play environments. Whether it’s a new play area, the renovation of an existing playground or replacing individual pieces of play equipment: we think along with you about a layout that fits the age group, location and play value. Our circular play equipment is largely made from recycled plastic. We don’t see plastic as waste, but as a valuable raw material. During the processing process, plastics are pre-sorted, cleaned and processed into high-quality granulate. Strong components for play equipment with a long service life are made from this material. The result is a sustainable play environment with maximum play value: safe for children, low-maintenance for managers and responsible for people and nature.

Circular play equipment is play equipment where raw materials remain in use for as long as possible. Instead of using new material, plastics from waste streams are re-applied as the basis for strong and durable play equipment. This creates less waste and gives existing materials a new function.

Our play equipment made from recycled plastic is suitable for a wide range of play environments, such as public play areas, schoolyards, daycare centres, recreation parks and natural play spaces. By combining play value, safety and sustainability, you get a play area that’s ready for intensive daily use.

We supply a wide range of play equipment for different ages, play styles and locations. Think of play combinations, climbing equipment, balance equipment, equipment for toddlers, sand and water play equipment, role-play equipment, motor skills equipment, spinning equipment, swings, seesaws and slides.

For every play environment, we consider the target group, available space, desired play value and appearance. For younger children, clear and accessible units are important, while older children are challenged by climbing, balancing, spinning and playing together. This creates a play area that suits the users.

Our play equipment has been developed for long-term use in outdoor spaces. The recycled plastic is low-maintenance, weather-resistant, easy to clean and able to withstand intensive use. As a result, the units remain functional and representative for years, even in busy play areas.

One major advantage is that the material does not need to be impregnated, painted or coated. This limits maintenance and ensures a stable appearance in the long term. Many play units are supplied with a 20-year guarantee, so managers can count on a long-term investment.

At play environments, children’s safety always comes first. That’s why our play equipment is made from solid, stable and tear-resistant plastic components. The material is splinter-free, making it particularly suitable for intensive use by young children.

In addition, the units are designed with attention to play value, accessibility and practical use. Whether it’s climbing, sliding, balancing, swinging or role play: children should be able to play freely, discover and move around in an environment that is safely and reliably designed.

Our play equipment made from recycled plastic is safe for people and nature. Because the material does not require impregnating agents or a coating, no unnecessary substances are added to make the product suitable for outdoor use.

The applied plastic is safe for health and the environment and harmless for soil and water according to DIN EN 71-3. That means the play equipment is suitable for public play areas, schoolyards, childcare locations and other environments where children play every day. This is how we combine play fun with responsible material use.

For our playground equipment, plastic is used again as a valuable raw material. Plastic packaging waste, post-consumer plastic and post-industrial plastic are given a new application in sustainable playground equipment. In this way, we reduce waste and limit the use of new raw materials.

The three-layer boards consist of more than 90% recycled packaging waste and are used, among other things, in panels, roofs and screening panels. Post-consumer plastic is used for uprights and profiles as the base construction. Post-industrial plastic, thanks to its high mechanical load capacity, is suitable for load-bearing components, slide side panels and water play equipment. After use, the material can be recycled again.

A sustainable play environment doesn’t have to be boring. In developing our playground equipment, we focus on high play value and a colorful design. Children are drawn to shapes, colors and play elements that invite them to explore, move around and play together.

Our three-layer boards consist of more than 90% recycled plastic and are provided with a colorful 2 mm top layer. This is how we combine sustainability with appearance. The result is a play area that is not only responsibly built, but also recognizable, lively and attractive to children.

Many of our playground equipment items are distinguished with the environmental label Blauer Engel. This label is awarded to products that meet strict requirements in the areas of environment, health and responsible material use.

For managers, municipalities and schools, this provides additional certainty when choosing sustainable playground equipment. It shows that circular material use, safety and quality can go hand in hand. This way, you choose not only a playground item with high play value, but also a product with demonstrably sustainable properties.
