Other legislation would have required signage warning the public that recycled rubber was present on a field or playground. In nearly all these situations, the legislation was defeated once the legislators were informed of the scientific evidence. Connecticut HB 5139, seeking an indefinite installation ban, got the farthest after passing out of committee and going to the House for a floor vote, but it was not taken up before the session ended on May 4.
In addition, there have been a series of unsubstantiated reports in the media against the recycled rubber industry, largely focused on the use of crumb rubber infill in synthetic turf and safety concerns associated with the same. The reality is that all of the scientific studies to date (more than 90 from leading universities, toxicologists, and government agencies) have found no significant health risk associated with artificial (synthetic) turf with recyclable rubber infill. In keeping with our commitment to a reputation based on trust and transparency, ReMA has launched RecycledRubberFacts.org to assist all stakeholders in confronting such unsubstantiated media reports with facts and will continue to encourage policymakers to look at the sound nonpartisan, peer-reviewed research that has been done before making reactive decisions that impact an industry that is so important to both the environment and economy.
