Hockey Turf Day 2026: Celebrating 50 Years of Game-Changing Innovation
Fifty years ago, hockey changed forever. On 18 July 1976, the first Olympic hockey match on synthetic turf marked the beginning of a new era for the sport. As we celebrate Hockey Turf Day 2026, we look back at the innovations that transformed the game and continue to shape its future.
Closing the material cycle together
Closing the material cycle together
Our solutions rely on innovative technologies and sustainable materials to minimise environmental impact. With our recycling initiatives, we close the loop and enable the environmentally friendly recycling of our sports floors. For us, the job does not ends with the installation of the track or the production of synthetic turf. Sustainability also means longevity. Even sports surfaces require proper maintenance to function optimally over the long term. That's why we offer our customers comprehensive support throughout the entire lifecycle of a sports surface through the Polytan Service Company – whether it's for repairs or wet and dry cleaning. Even the best artificial turf eventually reaches the end of its life and needs to be removed. At this statge, Polytan’s sister company FormaTurf steps in to recycle the used turf.
