RECYCLING IS AMERICAN
Taking something nobody values and turning it into treasure is just about the most American thing we can think of. That’s one reason we take post-consumer and post-industrial rubber and plastic waste and make it into RubberForm products like wheel stops, sign bases, speed bumps, Track-out control mats, speed cushions, cord trees, and spill containment berms, to name a few. Together, we can keep this waste out of landfills while keeping workers, customers, and fellow citizens safe.
THE PROBLEM
Every year, we throw away the equivalent of 1 tire per person in the United States. And since it takes about 7 gallons of crude oil to make a tire, that’s north of 2.3 billion gallons of crude oil waste going into dumps all around the US. We only hope this waste stays where we put it and doesn’t leach into the groundwater. That’s the bad news.
WE’RE SOLVING IT NOW
There is currently a market for about 80% of rubber tire waste. RubberForm is proud to be a growing part of that 80%. All of our products are made from post-consumer and post-industrial waste, including crumb rubber, recycled tires, and post-consumer as well as post-industrial plastics.
ECO-INDUSTRIAL INNOVATION
Eco-friendly and industry are two words that rarely belong together. At RubberForm, we believe that’s exactly backwards. As an eco-industrial company, we don’t just minimize our environmental harm. We actively work to heal our shared backyard by using all recycled material as our inputs and leaving absolutely, positively no waste during production. We’re a team of innovators, where everyone from the CEO on down to the folks who work the factory floor invent new ways to use less time, energy, and material to create our safety products.
5 REASONS TO BUY RUBBERFORM RECYCLE
Clean Up America’s Backyard
100% of our recycled material is domestically-sourced. That means no waste imported from overseas when there’s still cleaning up to do locally. Your kids and grandkids will drink cleaner water, walk on cleaner ground, and breathe cleaner air.
Guilt-Free Safety
We believe recycled means non-toxic material and ingredients, so we test our materials to ensure they’re safe. In other places, recycled just means “reused”, and when we test imported, competitors’ products, we often find unsafe levels of toxins in their materials. Use our RubberForm products guilt-free.
Save Time, Energy, and Money
Our carefully innovated and manufactured products are easy to use, easy to move, and last decades with no cracking, crumbling, or corroding. You don’t waste time, energy, and money on difficult installation, constant repair, or repeated replacement. Recycled materials also save time, energy, and money to produce compared to extracting and manufacturing with virgin materials.
It’s the Right Thing to Do
You care about keeping people safe. You care about the quality of our water, air, and soil for the future. Buy recycled made products because you can. And it encourages your neighbors to do the same. If you have specific LEED sustainability goals, all our products provide LEED credits towards Green Building LEED certification.
Everybody Wins
You get high-innovation, high-quality, zero-waste safety products. Your workers, customers, or citizens stay safe. We all clean up our shared backyard. You support hardworking Americans. Whether they’re in our factory, or our local recycled material suppliers, or all the domestic manufacturers and collectors they source their consumer and industrial waste from.
