Cre8Play has produced custom products using materials and produc;on techniques that reﬂect our commitment to reducing the environmental impact. Our philosophy about product design and produc;on is simple. We are commiAed to producing the highest quality products and custom designs in a way that maximizes crea;vity and minimizes impact to the environment. We support using local materials, environmentally friendly produc;on processes. Our Products Cre8Play produces custom and standard line products that rely on local and recycled materials for their strength and durability. Steel and concrete are primary components used in our products. Concrete is 100 percent recyclable. Recycled concrete can be used in many applica;ons from road construc;on to erosion control.

This is because steel scrap is an essen;al raw material in making new steel. Commitment Cre8Play is commiAed to conduc;ng business in a manner that manages environmental issues responsibly. Cre8Play fulﬁlls this commitment by: • Complying with environmental regula;ons • Conduc;ng opera;ons in an environmentally friendly manner • Applying the principles of reduce, reuse and recycle in all processes • Promo;ng environmental responsibility among our employees • Striving to ensure that suppliers agree to comply with environmental regula;ons • Pursuing con;nuous improvement in our environmental performance Sustainability References 1.
