In an exciting step forward for environmentally conscious playspace design, Proludic’s longstanding Diabolo Multiplay equipment range is now available in an eco-friendly version with enhanced sustainability features. This latest innovation supports the growing demand for sustainable playground equipment that combines environmental responsibility with high play value.
Specifically eco-designed to maximise durability, this new range includes posts made from 100% recycled post-consumer waste materials, sourced from food and drink cartons. The panels are made from up to 80–100% recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and both the posts and panels are 100% recyclable at the end of their lifecycle. The playground equipment is both eco-conscious and packed with play value, making it an essential addition to any modern sustainable playground.
The range caters to children from as young as six months up to 12 years old. It boasts a modular design that allows endless combinations, enabling bespoke creations tailored to specific age groups or encouraging interaction among children with varying abilities. With platform heights ranging from 60cm to 177cm, Diabolo offers a wealth of exciting play features, from classic must-haves to complex elements that inspire exploration, challenge, and fun.
Recycled Plastic Posts
Crafted from 100% recycled food and drinks cartons, these posts are durable, UV-resistant, and temperature-stable. Made in France, they are rot-proof and easy to maintain, as they resist stains, graffiti, and paint. This reduces the need for treatment or repairs, keeping maintenance costs low while ensuring the structure remains reliable for years to come.
HDPE Panels
The panels, 80–100% recycled from household and industrial waste, are designed to withstand harsh outdoor conditions. Manufactured in Europe, they are UV-resistant, weatherproof, and highly durable. Their impressive tensile strength and resistance to chemicals ensure they retain their robustness over time. Completely recyclable, these panels epitomise sustainable circular economy principles.
Sustainable Playground Equipment for Every Age
The eco-friendly Diabolo range is divided into two key offerings:
• Diabolo Baby HDPE: Specifically designed for early childhood, this range suits children aged 6 months to 5 years.
• Diabolo HDPE: A versatile range packed with fun features for junior children aged 2 years and above.
Beyond sustainability, the Diabolo range stands out for its ability to foster inclusive play. By incorporating varied play elements into each structure, it bridges gaps in abilities and encourages interaction across age groups. Whether you’re looking to inspire imaginative play or physical activity, Diabolo is the perfect solution for a greener, more engaging playground.
