The Munich Olympic Stadium, one of Europe’s most iconic sports venues, recently completed a large-scale renovation project focused on upgrading its athletic track and field surfaces. To enhance performance, durability, and environmental sustainability, the stadium selected a rubber surface system composed of EPDM granules, SBR granules, and high-quality PU glue supplied by QINGDAO LYKANT SPORTS GOODS CO., LTD. The project aimed to modernize the stadium’s surfaces to meet international athletic standards while reducing long-term maintenance costs. The SBR granules were used as the resilient base layer, providing excellent shock absorption and energy return, which helps reduce impact stress on athletes’ joints. On top of this, a vibrant layer of colored EPDM granules was applied, bonded with premium polyurethane (PU) glue to ensure superior adhesion, elasticity, and weather resistance. This combination created a seamless, non-slip, and UV-resistant surface that remains stable under varying weather conditions — from summer heat to winter frost. The newly installed surface also offers exceptional drainage performance, making it suitable for year-round training and competitions. Engineers reported that the EPDM and PU system achieved high tensile strength and abrasion resistance, meeting World Athletics standards. In addition, the use of recycled rubber materials contributes to the stadium’s sustainability goals by reducing waste and promoting environmentally responsible sports construction. The renovation at the Munich Olympic Stadium demonstrates how advanced EPDM & SBR granule flooring systems can elevate both athletic performance and environmental responsibility. With its improved safety, longevity, and eco-friendly design, this project sets a benchmark for modern stadiums seeking to combine innovation, sustainability, and excellence in sports infrastructure.      

The Northeast Forestry University Sports Stadium recently underwent a major flooring renovation project aimed at improving athletic performance, safety, and sustainability. The university selected high-performance rubber flooring manufactured by QINGDAO LYKANT SPORTS GOODS CO., LTD., known for its expertise in producing EPDM granules, SBR granules, and rubber sports surfaces. Before the upgrade, the stadium’s track and training areas showed signs of surface cracking and poor drainage, which affected athletes’ comfort and increased maintenance costs. After careful evaluation, the university opted for rubber flooring systems due to their superior shock absorption, slip resistance, and durability. The installation team completed the project within a tight schedule, laying multi-layered rubber flooring that combined a strong SBR base layer with a colorful EPDM top layer. This structure not only enhances elasticity and energy return but also provides a visually appealing, weather-resistant surface ideal for running tracks, gym zones, and indoor training facilities. Following installation, both coaches and athletes noticed immediate improvements in foot comfort, surface stability, and noise reduction. Additionally, the rubber material’s eco-friendly composition — made partly from recycled rubber — aligns with the university’s commitment to green campus development. Maintenance teams also reported a 50% reduction in upkeep costs, as the surface is easy to clean and resistant to water and UV damage. The success of this project demonstrates how modern rubber sports flooring can deliver long-term performance, safety, and environmental benefits for universities and large-scale athletic facilities. With its proven results, the Northeast Forestry University Sports Stadium now stands as a model example of how innovative rubber flooring solutions can enhance both the functionality and sustainability of educational sports infrastructure.      

In recent years, more educational institutions have begun investing in rubber flooring tiles for their kindergarten playgrounds to create safer and more durable play environments. A recent case study involving a large kindergarten in Qingdao, China, highlights how recycled rubber tiles can transform a traditional playground into a modern, eco-friendly, and low-maintenance recreational space. Before the renovation, the playground’s concrete and sand surfaces were prone to wear, water accumulation, and minor injuries among children. The school decided to replace these materials with EPDM and SBR rubber tiles supplied by QINGDAO LYKANT SPORTS GOODS CO., LTD., a leading manufacturer of high-quality rubber flooring solutions. The installation process was fast and efficient. The rubber tiles were cut and laid precisely to fit the play area, offering vibrant colors and flexible patterns that stimulate visual interest while ensuring safety and comfort. After several months of use, the kindergarten reported a significant reduction in slip and fall incidents and an improvement in overall playground hygiene. Moreover, the flooring demonstrated excellent UV resistance, shock absorption, and water permeability, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor areas. Maintenance staff also noted that the new surface required 70% less cleaning and repair work compared to the previous setup. This project demonstrates how rubber playground tiles not only enhance child safety but also support sustainability goals by utilizing recycled rubber materials. It stands as a model for kindergartens and early education centers worldwide seeking long-term, eco-conscious flooring solutions that balance performance, aesthetics, and environmental responsibility.
