The world's first sustainable EPDM rubber granules
At a time when sustainability and environmental awareness must not just be buzzwords for companies, but must be an integral part of corporate behavior, GEZOLAN AG is bringing about a revolution and launching the world's first sustainable EPDM granules for sports and leisure flooring: GEZOFLEX eco.
GEZOFLEX eco looks like a normal EPDM granule, feels like a normal EPDM granule, can be processed like a normal EPDM granule and performs like a normal EPDM granule. But best of all: GEZOFLEX eco consists of over 90 % sustainable raw materials! It can therefore rightly be described as the world's first sustainable EPDM granule! The revolutionary material is based on a sustainable EPDM rubber that contains a defined proportion of certified bio-based raw materials. In addition, GEZOFLEX eco uses an innovative, renewable filler. The sustainable raw materials are complemented by an oil that is 99 % bio-based and that has a negative CO₂ footprint. Together, the following properties of these special raw materials ensure the sustainability of GEZOFLEX eco:
- Biogen
- Renewable
- Biobased
- Negative CO2 emissions
- Mass balanced
- Careful extraction methods
> 90% sustainable raw materials, 0% performance loss
In addition to these outstanding sustainability features, this pioneering innovation among EPDM granules makes no compromises in terms of performance and technical properties. GEZOFLEX eco offers all the familiar significant properties of a proven EPDM granule from GEZOLAN and does not differ from conventional EPDM granules in terms of technical values, variety of applications and processing options! It can be used just as variably and conveniently for all known applications. These include athletic tracks and multisport surfaces, playground safety surfaces, prefabricated slabs and rolled goods for various flooring solutions. GEZOFLEX eco is suitable for in-situ processing with a polyurethane binder or a coating, as well as for processing into rolled goods or for the production of slabs and molded parts. GEZOFLEX eco is initially available in selected colours and primarily in the standard grain size of 1.0 - 4.0 mm.
Revolutionary, sustainable, high-performance and future-oriented
GEZOFLEX eco was developed for future-oriented sports and leisure surfaces in order to minimize their ecological footprint and at the same time meet the needs of customers and users. By using over 90 % sustainable ingredients, GEZOLAN sets new standards for EPDM granules and shows that quality and environmental awareness can go hand in hand. With the development of the first sustainable EPDM granules for sports and leisure flooring, GEZOLAN has truly done pioneering work in terms of product development and once again impressively demonstrated its position as a quality leader.
