About BOERplay
For well over 60 years we at BOERplay have specialised in equipping school playgrounds, public areas and recreational spaces with active playing fun. We offer an extensive range of modern playground and sports equipment, street furniture and flower boxes. All our products are durable, maintenance-friendly and vandal resistant.
Sustainability
We realise that as a company, we have a major impact on sustainability. We produce in-house and, when possible, obtain our raw materials and semi-fi nished products locally, with a positive impact on CO2 emissions. During design, the starting point is the Dutch sustainability norm (which succeeds that of the EU). We design with a quality that by definition guarantees a lifespan of at least 15 years. This is why we use high quality materials such as:
- FSC® certified wood (class 1)
- Stainless steel
- Galvanised and powder coated steel
- Aluminium
- Hercules rope
- Rebo plastics made of recycled household plastics
