Environmentally friendly and sustainable artificial solutions

New standards shape the future of our industries, and we are committed to make our ecological footprint as small as possible. Synthetic turf for sports provides millions of people worldwide the opportunity to exercise and enjoy sport at the best of their abilities, regardless of available space, local climate, and water availability.

The synthetic sports surfaces industry requires a global focus on sustainability to make synthetic turf as ‘green’ as possible and improve its sustainability and impact on the environment throughout the entire life cycle of a sports pitch.

GreenFields has always been at the forefront of innovation and improving sustainability; being one of the first to utilise natural infill within turf systems and continue to lead the way in high-end non-filled systems for sports applications. For clubs and municipalities that want to opt for a durable high-performing sports pitch that is as eco-friendly as possible, GreenFields has the solution.

Making synthetic turf circular

In various countries in Europe and elsewhere is an urgent demand for clean, safe and circular recycling of artificial grass as it reaches the end its lifespan. Many municipalities, sports clubs and other organisations are seeking options to dispose of their artificial turf in a responsible way. In April 2019, the synthetic turf industry set up GBN Artificial Grass Recycling (GBN-AGR). Chain partners GBN, Antea Sport, EdelGrass, TenCate Group, GreenFields, CSC Sport, Domo Sports Grass and Sports & Leisure Group entered into the collaborative partnership under the name GBN Artificial Grass Recycling (AGR). Setting up this partnership provided artificial grass suppliers with the guarantee that their end-of-life artificial grass mats would be disposed of in a transparent, circular and responsible manner.

GBN Artificial Grass Recycling offers a solution by recycling the annual supply of end-of-life artificial grass into new, high-quality, circular raw materials. In 2020, GBN opened its first innovative circular recycling factory in the Netherlands, located in the heart of the circular cluster of the Port of Amsterdam.

The recycling facility is fully sustainable, both economically and in terms of environmental impact. It is also realistic, as it relies on a solid business case and was developed by and for the industry. GBN AGR works in close collaboration with several industry partners. This guarantees the investments needed to recycle sufficient volumes of artificial grass.

ONE-DNA™ Technology

With ONE-DNA™ technology, we turn ambitions into reality. Thanks to this innovation, we produce artificial turf systems with minimal environmental impact and maximum circularity, made entirely from a single polymer: polyethylene (PE). Because the product consists solely of PE, high-quality recycling is possible. This results in pure PE that can be reused in a wide range of new applications. A true step towards a circular future.
