Go Green with Training Ground!
Unlike many products made today, Training Ground with Nike Grind was developed to be environmentally sensitive. To that end, Training Ground products are made from nearly 100% premium-grade recycled materials: almost 65% post-consumer tire rubber, approximately 25% pre-consumer Nike Grind rubber, and 10% material to bind the recycled content together.
No other fitness flooring even comes close!
Recycled Rubber
ECORE International, maker of Training Ground with Nike Grind, procures scrap tire rubber from all over the country to recycle into its products. As North America’s largest user of scrap tire rubber, ECORE has made a thriving business out of finding creative ways to reduce, reuse and recycle. The company manufactures and markets innovatively designed cork, cork/rubber and recycled rubber products throughout the world.
Each year, the company recycles 80 million pounds of scrap tire rubber, more than 2,000 trailer loads, conserving 1 million barrels of oil in the process to make high-quality products that are distributed internationally. That’s enough to provide heating oil to 60,000 homes for a year!
At ECORE, the company respects the environment and understands that all resources are limited. The company is committed to operating its business and facilities in a manner that uses resources wisely and protects the quality of the environment and the health and safety of its associates, families and communities. To that end, ECORE has developed energy-efficient manufacturing processes that use minimal water and little or no heat, and the company reuses its manufacturing scrap to minimize waste. In addition, ECORE has adopted energy efficient approaches to lighting facilities, and has changed light bulbs in manufacturing facilities from inefficient metal-halide to high efficiency fluorescent lights and fixtures.
ECORE both appreciates and celebrates the positive impact its products like Training Ground have on people and the planet. The company supports the use and reuse of industrial and post consumer waste and the development of systems to reclaim and reuse its own products after their useful life.
