RubberForm Recycled Products, LLC is a world-class manufacturer of innovative recycled rubber and plastic products made from U.S. scrap tire rubber and recycled plastics. RubberForm sells through various channels such as national distributors, regional resellers and VAR's (Value-Added Resellers) throughout North America. With a diverse product line, RubberForm has products that can be used to address needs in the Parking Lot & Road Safety segment, to helping with a Road Construction or various Industrial applications, a Home Improvement project or even design something custom to meet your needs.
RubberForm is proud to say that all of our Green products are made in America by an American workforce. Our environmentally friendly products are GreenSpec listed and count towards LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification points on your next green building project. RubberForm is also a member of the USGBC - US Green Building Council, working to transform the way buildings and communities are designed, built and operated.
Our Products are a cost effective, durable and an attractive alternative to the standard concrete or plastic products, both of which have issues with cracking, breaking down over time and needing to be replaced after only a few years. Products made from our recycled rubber are the solution to these issues resistant to temperature variations, moisture damage, UV light, oils, fuels, and salts. Our products will not rust, chip, crack or crumble, giving you years of superior service & value.
