"ASLA has clearly set its sights on educating its members about the value of green alternatives. For instance, the organization is offering continuing education credits for U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) LEED credential maintenance to its members for the very first time at this year's conference," said Brad Pittam, general manager of LTR Products. "As a truly eco-friendly alternative to conventional landscaping materials, we believe Pinnacle Rubber Mulch correlates closely with the direction of the marketplace, and we are excited to take our message to ASLA's annual meeting."
Landscape architects, developers, parks and recreation directors and others can certainly add to the sustainability of their landscaping project when they choose an alternative such as Pinnacle Rubber Mulch. Rubber mulch prevents trees from being harvested for the production of wood mulch, and it typically lasts at least 10 years, avoiding the need to replenish wood mulch on an annual basis. Moreover, rubber mulch is created by recycling scrap tires. These tires might otherwise have ended up in a landfill.
"Pinnacle Rubber Mulch provides other benefits as well. It is non allergenic, non-toxic and harmless to plants, pets and children. Plus, rubber mulch is clean, minimizes airborne dust and particles, and will never splinter like wood mulch," Pittam added. "Moreover, as safety surfacing used in playgrounds, a six-inch layer of Pinnacle Rubber Mulch will cushion a child's fall from as high as 16 feet."
