ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
Our approach
At Equipro, environmental responsibility isn’t a bolt-on—it’s built in.
Across every step, we work in line with applicable UK environmental rules and guidance, maintain clear records, and publish practical handling and installation information so you can buy and ride with confidence.
Responsible manufacturing
Our surface is produced as a finished product with defined specifications.
We keep chain-of-custody records from receipt through manufacturing to delivery.
Materials are handled to minimise loss to the environment, with good-housekeeping controls during processing and packing.
Quality assurance & testing
We operate a testing and monitoring regime proportionate to our product and operations.
Tests are carried out by independent providers, and we maintain internal summaries of results and actions.
Our focus areas include product consistency and risk-based checks relevant to modern materials stewardship.
We review results and improve controls where helpful.

Upon request, we have the ability to furnish our customers with the following information:

Suitable base preparation and best-practice installation steps
Handling tips to limit loss to the environment (e.g., avoid dragging outside the arena, keep edges tidy)
