Kompan is redefining how schools and communities think about play, learning, and sustainability. As a global leader in playground and outdoor fitness design, Kompan helps California schools and municipalities create vibrant, inclusive spaces that encourage movement, creativity, and connection with the natural environment—while advancing statewide sustainability goals.
With decades of experience and a strong presence across California, Kompan designs and manufactures DSA-approved playground and shading solutions built from recycled and recyclable materials. Their products are engineered to withstand years of use in demanding outdoor conditions while reducing the environmental footprint of traditional playground systems. Kompan’s innovations include equipment made from ocean-recycled plastics, reclaimed steel, and FSC-certified wood, demonstrating that durable design and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand.
For California’s schools and colleges, Kompan’s approach helps campuses meet green building and outdoor learning objectives by providing safe, shaded, and climate-resilient play and recreation areas. These environments not only reduce heat-island impacts and water use but also support student wellness, outdoor learning, and environmental literacy—key elements of California’s broader sustainability and climate-adaptation initiatives.
Through its collaboration with school districts, architects, and facility planners, Kompan continues to inspire a new generation to value physical activity and environmental stewardship. Green Technology is proud to recognize Kompan as a Sustainability Champion for its leadership in sustainable design, community engagement, and commitment to helping California build healthier, greener campuses for all.
You can meet members of the Kompan team at the Green California Schools & Higher Education Summit on November 13 in Pasadena.
