Die internationale Fachmesse für Freiraum, Sport- und Bewegungseinrichtungen legte den Fokus in diesem Jahr ganz auf Nachhaltigkeit. Entsprechend positive Resonanz rief der NEW LIFE-Messestand in Halle 10.2 hervor, der sich mit einem Erlebnis-Parcours und dem Lern-Portal NEW LIFE macht Schule vor allem an künftige Generationen richtete. Rund 200 Schüler und Auszubildende nahmen die Einladung zum Messebesuch am NEW LIFE Klima-Schultag an, um sich persönlich über Umweltschutz, Nachhaltigkeit und ressourcenschonende Recyclingprodukte zu informieren.   Â
Mit Unterstützung der ebenfalls auf Nachhaltigkeit bedachten Messeköln präsentierte NEW LIFE die Vorteile und Möglichkeiten der stofflichen Verwertung von Altreifen zu Recyclingprodukten auf einer Fläche von über 70 Quadratmetern.
High-quality recycled products made from tyre rubber granulate are robust, durable, extremely weather-resistant, easy to work with and low-maintenance. Shapes, thicknesses and colours can be individually adapted to customer requirements, opening up new scope for the design of playgrounds, green spaces, sports fields, etc.
Recyclingprodukte hautnah entdecken und erleben
Auf einem Erlebnis-Parcours konnten Schüler, Auszubildende und Interessenten von Kommunen, Verbänden, Unternehmen und Hochschulen die Vielfalt hochwertiger Recyclingprodukte aus Reifen-Gummigranulat für Spielplätze, Sportanlagen, Ställe & Co. hautnah entdecken. 17 verschiedene Bodenplatten aus recyceltem Gummigranulat – von Fallschutzböden über Kunstrasenmatten bis zu Verbundpflastern – konnten Schritt für Schritt erkundet und im Rahmen eines Gewinnspiels richtig zugeordnet werden.
To sensitise future generations to the importance of environmental protection, climate protection, sustainability and recycling (products), NEW LIFE has set up a free learning portal for gardening and landscaping schools and training companies, which was presented live at FSB. Visitors of all generations were able to try out the varied content of the eight lessons at an information terminal.
Numerous pupils and trainees at the NEW LIFE Climate School Day
The highlight of the NEW Climate School Day on 26 October was a climate protection forum in the Europasaal of the Congress-Centrum Ost, which was attended by over 120 pupils and trainees. After a presentation of the NEW LIFE initiative and its partners, which focused on the ecological benefits of recycling used tyres, the renowned climate researcher Prof. Dr Peter Wiesen (Institute for Atmospheric and Environmental Wuppertal) gave a presentation on climate change that was suitable for pupils.
In his view, the climate has changed permanently over the past millennia. The often lamented extreme weather conditions also occurred centuries ago. For Prof. Wiesen, the question is what part humans play in the current climate change, what measures can contribute to improving the climate (for example, the recycling of used tyres) and why politicians are so hesitant to follow the recommendations of scientists.
The exhibitors at FSB 2023 also included NEW LIFE partners Conradi+Kaiser, Kraiburg Relastec, Melos and Regupol, who personally supported the Climate School Day, also drew a positive conclusion and were delighted with the keen interest shown by trade visitors from all over the world. Our partner MRH Mülsen was present at the NEW LIFE stand for two days with three specialists. And a delegation from our partner Estato Umweltservice travelled to take part in the Climate School Day.
