Traditional Materials Vs Plastic Materials
Traditional materials include metal and wood that require a lot of maintenance. Today, newer composite materials require very little attention.
Using composite materials certainly is not a new thing. A mud and straw composite materials were used by Mesopotamians and Egyptians as early as 1500BC.
A good example of the newer composites that are used in playground systems is Tangent Sustainable Lumber. It has a wood look but does not require staining, painting or other maintenance that you would expect to find with natural woods.
Traditional materials require regular painting and repairs to prevent injuries like splinters. Composite materials do not. Recycled plastic wood for playgrounds are not only a low-maintenance option but they are a safer option.

Of course, the less need for maintenance means that there is less risk to labor sustaining injuries as well. A safe playground solution can also be an affordable, environmentally friendly solution as well.
