Traditional artificial turf pitches have long been used as a practical alternative to natural grass thanks to their durability and low maintenance. However, over time, their negative environmental impact has become clear:
- Permanent microplastic emissions: infill materials such as fossil-based rubber granules release permanent microplastics into the environment, harming aquatic ecosystems and wildlife.
- Plastic waste: Artificial turf is often made from non-recyclable materials, creating waste problems when the pitch needs to be replaced.
- High initial cost: Despite low maintenance costs, the installation of traditional artificial grass pitches can be costly.
