Pinnacle Rubber Mulch
THE NATURAL CHOICE

P

eople tend to believe that products closely
derived from nature are safer for the environment
than those derived from synthetic materials, but
eco-friendly Pinnacle Rubber Mulch offers distinct
advantages over the " natural " alternatives.
Tires take a long time to biodegrade. By reclaiming
scrap tires for use as landscaping mulch or
playground safety surfacing, LTR Products provides
an innovative outlet for a material that is already
prevalent in our lives.
The advanced technology used to process and
convert scrap tires into Pinnacle Rubber Mulch
ultimately creates a material that is non-allergenic
and harmless to plants, pets and children-without
depleting our natural resources.
Pinnacle Rubber Mulch helps American consumers
recycle and reuse 89.3 percent of the scrap tires
generated annually-compared to just 40 percent of
plastic bottles.
For smarter landscaping and playgrounds, there's no
brighter solution. Year after year, Pinnacle Rubber
Mulch saves more and more trees from the shredder.
Pinnacle Rubber Mulch requires less applications
by remaining vibrant and plush longer. Unlike wood
mulch, Pinnacle Rubber Mulch will not blow away or
wash away; will not decompose or compress; and will
not fade for up to 10 years.
Today, smart and sustainable solutions must also
save time and money. For places where annual
re-application of mulch is cost prohibitive, Pinnacle

Rubber Mulch presents a safe and durable solution.
Pinnacle Rubber Mulch is nontoxic and the colors
will not rub off on children or pets. And unlike wood,
Pinnacle Rubber Mulch is clean, minimizes airborne
dust and particles, and will not result in painful
splinters. Pinnacle Rubber Mulch also will not attract
bugs, rodents, mold or mildew.
With the texture of wood mulch and a variety of
natural and vibrant colors, Pinnacle Rubber Mulch
combines aesthetics and performance.
As safety surfacing, a 6-inch layer of Pinnacle Rubber
Mulch will cushion a child's fall from as high as 12
feet. Pinnacle Rubber Mulch provides up to 50
percent more fall-height protection than wood mulch
using half of the material.
With more than 150,000 children reported injured
each year by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Council as a result of playground falls, safety
surfacing is the most vital component of playground
construction.
Pinnacle Rubber Mulch is proven safe-for the
environment, and for children.
LTR Products, the manufacturer of Pinnacle Rubber
Mulch, is a creative outlet for advanced rubber-based
products-a company dedicated to producing smart
solutions that change the way families interact with
the environment.
