Environmental Performance Is Becoming a Major Advantage

Environmental performance is increasingly important in the European and North American artificial turf markets.

A non-infill system can eliminate the need for rubber or sand infill, potentially simplifying maintenance and reducing the movement of loose particulate materials.

However, environmental performance still depends on the entire product system, including:

• Polymer selection
• Additives
• Backing materials
• Adhesives
• Manufacturing processes
• Restricted-substance compliance
• End-of-life recyclability

VivaTurf has placed particular emphasis on environmentally conscious material selection and recyclable turf-system development, aligning with the broader global movement toward more circular and resource-efficient sports infrastructure.

For international projects, buyers should request current laboratory reports and certification documentation rather than relying solely on general environmental claims.
