rubber mulch
Recycled tire groundcover
Rubber mulch is ground-up recycled rubber, typically from old tires, used as a landscaping material or playground surface.
It suppresses weeds, retains moisture, and doesn't decompose like wood mulch.
On playgrounds, it cushions falls: The school installed rubber mulch under the swings.
Critics note concerns about chemical leaching and flammability.
