More than a disposal challenge.
End-of-life playground surfacing creates material recovery, contamination, disposal and logistics challenges. Refurbishment requires practical decisions about how material is removed, handled and where it goes next.

DEVELOPMENT STAGE / PHASE 02
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT FUNDING
£250k
£250,000 — EARLY-STAGE INVESTMENT TARGET
A proposed funding objective, subject to review.
Rubber Revolution is developing a system to recover end-of-life wet pour playground surfacing, process it for potential reuse and build digital traceability around the material journey.
Rubber Revolution has access to recovered material and the technology to break it down and repurpose it. Independent validation has been received, with detailed scope and findings still to be published here. Processing methods, commercial validation and pilot preparation remain in development.
Funding information subject to legal and financial-promotion review. The target is a development planning objective, not an open investment offer. No investment terms, subscription facility or promises of returns are provided. No investments are accepted through this website. Any substantive fundraising communication, audience eligibility and investment documentation require appropriate review before release. This notice does not replace that review.
BUSINESS & DEVELOPMENT OVERVIEW
A recovery operation.
A material supply model.
Rubber Revolution is an emerging circular materials and recovery technology business. The following describes the model under development and the work needed to establish its commercial viability.
Connect the material journey.
An integrated recovery, processing and resupply model aims to turn suitable removed wet pour rubber into material for future base-layer applications. Planned digital traceability would link the stages.
Two potential revenue streams.
Removal and recovery services could generate service revenue. Processing and supplying suitable recovered material could generate additional sales to surfacing contractors. Neither stream is presented as established or contracted revenue.
Explore the proposed commercial model →Development informed by the industry.
The project is being developed with access to an established playground surfacing installation and refurbishment business, existing industry knowledge, recovered material and initial processing equipment.
This relationship provides development context. It does not give Rubber Revolution the related business’s trading history, turnover, customers or commercial contracts.
Physical processing. Planned digital identity.
The technology to break down and repurpose rubber is already in place. Development focuses on consistent processing, contamination separation and application-specific material requirements. Planned batch identification and digital records would support traceability from source to destination; they are not an existing commercial platform.
Read about testing and evidence →A recurring refurbishment need.
Playground refurbishment and safety surfacing replacement create recurring opportunities to assess recovery and material reuse. The addressable wet pour market, refurbishment frequency and recoverable volumes still require research.
View the market research areas →Phase 2 — Develop the Operation.
With the breakdown and repurposing technology already in place, the current priorities are consistent output, contamination control, application-specific material requirements, commercial modelling and pilot preparation. Commercial-scale processing is not presented as established.
The existing independent-validation announcement is retained. The report, test scope and verified results must be reviewed before any specific performance claim is made.
Explore the development roadmap →Support the next development work.
The proposed funding objective is to support technical validation, processing development, operational pilots, staffing, commercial partnerships and traceability systems, alongside legal, regulatory and working-capital needs.
Funding structure, timing and allocations remain to be determined and reviewed.
Build a scalable circular materials operation.
The ambition is to serve playground contractors and infrastructure customers through a practical recovery and material supply operation. Scale depends on validated applications, repeatable processing, viable logistics, demand and sustainable project economics. This is an ambition, not a forecast or promise of returns.
INTENDED USE OF FUNDING
Funding the work
that comes next.
The proposed £250,000 raise is intended to support development across the following areas. Allocations are not yet specified and may change.
01
Processing development
Equipment, processing methods and contamination management.
02
Testing & validation
Independent testing and technical validation of potential applications.
03
Pilots & people

04
Digital traceability
Development of batch identity and material journey tracking.
05
Commercial & operational
Partnerships, legal and regulatory requirements, and working capital.
SEIS STATUS
Clear about
where we stand.
SEIS eligibility and HMRC advance assurance have not been confirmed.
The proposed round is being considered with SEIS in mind, but no approval has been obtained and no tax relief is promised. Eligibility, available reliefs and the structure of any investment would require confirmation and appropriate independent advice.
