МИРОВОЙ ЛИДЕР В ОБЛАСТИ ИСКУССТВЕННЫХ ТРАВЯНЫХ ПОКРЫТИЙ

It is estimated that today, only around 20% of plastic waste in the EU finds its way back into the plastics market. Approximately 1,000 synthetic turf fields are removed in Europe every year, equivalent to 15,000 tons of plastic waste is being generated. Only an estimated 10% is being recycled!

At FieldTurf, we wanted to change that. As we took our Sustain the Game strategy to the next level, we saw an opportunity to embrace technology and find a solution to closing the loop on our synthetic turf production cycle.

Our Initiatives

CHEMICAL RECYCLING

Using mass balance pyrolysis oil from post consumer and/or post-industrial end-of-life plastics.

MECHANICAL RECYCLING

Transformation of plastic waste into new raw material components.

ONE POLYMER TURF

Re-engineering turf to make it easier to recycle.

REPROCESSING END-OF-LIFE

Re-processing of end-of-life turf into new turf system components.

REPROCESSING END-OF-LIFE

Re-processing of end-of-life turf into new turf system components.

Our Commitment

Provide sustainable solutions to overcome the current challenges of recycling processes.

Protect nature by transforming plastic waste into a valuable resource.

Endlessly recycle plastic waste by transforming it back into its components or other products.

Save CO2 emissions and reduce the carbon footprint of our industry.

Reduce landfilling and incineration by offering sustainable end-of-life options for all plastic waste.

OUR COMMITMENT:

Building for tomorrow. It’s our sustainability commitment.

That means our innovation isn’t limited to product specs. Our promise to keep players safe on our turf has naturally evolved into an obsession — one with a singular focus to completely eliminate its potential to harm not just people but the environment too. Now in everything we do, we strive for the lowest impact on people and the planet.

PEOPLE. PLANET. PERIOD. OUR SUSTAINABILITY IS FOCUSED

WE CONSERVE WATER

Water is essential to life and a human right, and its stewardship is core to our sustainability strategy. From manufacturing to installation, our products address water efficiency, scarcity and quality.

WE BUILD FOR THE FUTURE

We focus on efficient production, reducing the environmental impact of our own operations, and achieving the highest quality manufacturing certifications. (ISO 9001-2015, ISO 14001-2015, ISO 45001-2018).

WE USE SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS

We innovate our choice of product components and materials using closed-loop design thinking that respects workers and the planet, resulting in a more sustainable product, and the only artificial turf product to obtain Cradle to Cradle™ Bronze certification.

WE NURTURE HUMAN POTENTIAL

People are central to what we do. We make unlocking their innate talents a focus, ensuring they have the agency to take action and fulfill their potential, and we motivate them through transparency and open communication.

WE SAFEGUARD ATHLETES

We were founded with the promise to make athletes safer during the game — and now we extend that promise to all the lives we touch through rigorous safety testing, product performance, and respect for the wellbeing of our people and our communities.

LOWERING OUR PRODUCT IMPACT

Because sustainable sport is integral to the wellbeing of our communities, preserving our ecosystems is a part of what drives all of our product innovation. After all, if there’s no planet, there’s no play.

MAKING A REAL DIFFERENCE EVERY YEAR

GREENER PRODUCTS

Discover the FieldTurf products that are leading the change. Our unwavering commitment to quality and innovation helps power our drive to Change The Game for athletes and for the planet.

VERSATILE

The ultimate drainage and shock underlayment solution, VersaTile delivers the perfect mix of drainage and shock absorption. Made from recycled post-industrial turf and thermoelastomers, VersaTile transform excess into a green solution.

THERMAGREEN

SportLite by ThermaGreen is a nonwoven Geotextile shock & drainage pad. Made of post-industrial cross-linked polyethylene, every field installed helps divert over twelve truck-loads of foam from landfills.

RE-COVER

Instead of removing and disposing an aged field, FieldTurf Re-Cover installs a new field on top of the existing surface. The process repurposes the existing field to help provide added safety and performance to the new field.

ECOMAX

The infill system utilizes extruded composite pellets made up of recycled post-industrial turf and thermoplastic elastomer that offers a green solution without sacrificing performance and durability.

FINDING NEW HOMES

Many aged sports fields have been repurposed for landscape or recreational use. The system might no longer be right for competitive activities but still has a lot of life for other settings. We encourage and help organizations donate their aged surface to local communities.

GREENBOARD

The innovative technology combines “nonrecyclable” plastics and postconsumer turf to make a durable and 100% recycled fiber-reinforced composite board with zero wood content.

DRIVING THE FIELD TO ZERO

When it comes to waste, we have a simple mission: create a future where none of our products ever makes it to a landfill. Getting there isn’t just a journey; it’s a quest. It’s why we’ve devoted our research and development efforts to tackle the complexity required to recycle old turf. It’s why we repurpose key materials from end-of-life installations to create the advanced components of future products.

And it’s why we continue to be the forefront of developing technology to expand end-of-life turf applications — transforming would-be waste and dispersed materials into useful new products with renewed value.

While we may not have an exact date, and don’t want to throw out an obscure year in the future, our dedication of DRIVING THE FIELD TO ZERO is very much alive.

Follow our journey.
