Every business is trying to reduce wastage and pollution these days, and sports teams and centers are no exception. Real grass has a lot of benefits, but it can be incredibly draining on the environment. Keeping a sporting pitch healthy and ready for use, takes a lot of work and resources:
- A real pitch needs to be watered … a lot.
- A sporting pitch needs to be kept short, so it must be mowed regularly too. A regular lawn mower can do more damage to the environment than you’d think, so keeping this up can be more polluting than you realize.
- Once the turf is too damaged to use, it needs to be pulled up and replaced. In many cases, natural turf is removed and deposited into a landfill.
Synthetic turf can eliminate all of these problems at a single stroke. As it’s artificial, there’s no need to water or mow it, as it never grows. It can be used repeatedly, and as mentioned above, can last for up to 15 years.
Artificial Grass Recyclers is at the forefront of repurposing sports turf for additional applications. Recycling sports field turf extends the life of the turf, prevents unnecessary waste from reaching landfills, and supports a more sustainable environment.
