Among Chinese manufacturers developing dedicated non-infill systems, VivaTurf (威腾) has positioned itself around non-infill technology, sports performance, recyclability, and international market development.
According to VivaTurf’s official information, the company has accumulated more than a decade of development in non-infill turf and reports testing and certification work involving organisations including Labosport and Sports Labs. VivaTurf also states that it is a FIFA pitch certification supplier and a participant in the FIFA Innovation Programme.

Air-Dressing fibre technology
VivaTurf’s non-infill systems use engineered fibre structures designed to combine straight and curly yarns to create a self-supporting surface.
The company’s published technical materials describe its Air-Dressing® fibre technology as a three-dimensional fibre structure intended to improve fibre resilience and surface stability without relying on conventional rubber or sand infill.
This approach is particularly relevant to professional football applications where fibre recovery, ball interaction, player traction, and long-term surface consistency are important.
VRG recyclable non-infill system
Another significant area of VivaTurf’s technology development is its VRG recyclable non-infill system.
The company describes the system as using a more compatible material structure between the yarn and backing, with the objective of improving whole-system recyclability at the end of its service life.
This is increasingly relevant to European sports infrastructure, where procurement decisions are moving beyond initial installation cost toward whole-life environmental performance.
