Environmental Impact

FlexEdge Safety products from RTS Canada Ltd. are made from 100% post-consumer truck tire rubber and moisture cured urethane. Every product we manufacture helps create a healthier environment for ourselves and future generations.
Utilizing recycled rubber in our manufacturing process helps contribute to a cleaner environment. First, reducing the enormous amount of space that waste tires consume in our landfills and second, by eliminating the need for hazardous tire dumps that can cause very serious health problems through either the toxic smoke from a fire or the spread of disease (West Nile Virus), from the breeding grounds that abandoned tires provide to mosquitoes.
At RTS Canada, our team is committed to always providing you with the highest quality, most innovative and durable products possible. We take great pride in being a small yet integral part of a cleaner environment by utilizing waste rubber in every one of our products.
FlexEdge Safety Products may contribute to obtaining LEED CREDITS for materials containing recycled content. Our Sport and Playground rubber curbing systems contain between 100% post consumer recycled truck rubber.
If your project is within 800 km (as the crow flies) of our manufacturing facility (Upper Musquodoboit, NS) additional credits could apply to your project. All RTS FlexEdge Safety Products are 100% recyclable.
For a more complete and accurate qualification of what LEED Credits are available in your area, please consult with your Department of Environment or your project engineer.
