Cornerstone 1: Sustainability

We offer playgrounds and sports areas with design solutions that are capable of standing the test of time….and weather, in all climate conditions. From the outset, our products are engineered to incorporate sustainable materials that are guaranteed for their solidity and designed to ensure repairability.

Cornerstone 1, Sustainability, is guaranteed by 3 indicators:
– Repairability Index,
– Playgroung longevity index,
– Resistance of play equipment.

REPAIRABILITY INDEX

Definition :
The repairability index informs the customer about the repairability of the purchased product. By displaying a score out of 10, this index is based on the official grid created by the French government and adapted to the context of Proludic.

Proludic is staying one step ahead of the innovation curve by creating the first repairability index for playgrounds and sports areas. Each of the ranges produced by Proludic thus has an index which makes it possible to know its level of repairability based on 5 criteria: 

1. Availability of documentation,
2. Ease of disassembly,
3. Availability of spare parts,
4. Price of parts,
5. Proludic diagnostic & after-sales capabilities.

The repairability index for Proludic equipment is 9,12/10

PLAYGROUND LONGEVITY INDEX

The longevity index informs the customer about the ability of the play or sports structure to last
and withstand the test of time. It is based on a periodic study carried out in each of the subsidiaries to assess:
– the playground’s current condition,
– safety,
– functioning,
– wear and tear.

The rating of the general condition of the playground and sports area was determined using a sample of 134 playgrounds with defined criteria ranging from 1 to 5:
5/5 Entire play area usable and in good condition,
4/5 Playground with traces of normal use but fully functional, without risk to safety,
3/5 Playground with traces of advanced use but fully functional, without risk to safety,
2/5 Playground with traces of advanced use and partially functional, without risk to safety,
1/5 Playground severely degraded and presenting security risks.

90% of our older play areas (average age 16 years) are completely functional

RESISTANCE OF PLAY EQUIPMENT

Proludic is present in more than 55 countries. Our equipment is therefore exposed to extreme climate conditions, which it resists perfectly: frost, heatwaves, wind, snow…

Proludic equipment is perfectly resistant to extreme weather conditions.
