Recycling at Polytan

We want to make the future of sports more sustainable. That’s why we are constantly working on environmentally friendly solutions, and on minimising the use of fossil raw materials in our synthetic turf portfolio over the long term. Our GT Recycled products bring us one step closer to this goal, turf by turf.

PCR Material Upcycling campaign

Upcycling over waste

We already convert recycled plastic from industrial operations into capital goods by incorporating it into our synthetic turf. The PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) material we use is single-use packaging film that we breathe new life into by turning it into synthetic playing surfaces that last for 12 to 15 years.

Mechanical Recycling
Die bessere Art zu Recyceln

The smart way of recycling

We consciously use mechanically recycled material rather than chemically recycled material.

What is mechanical recycling?

Certified sustainable

The use of recycled materials in our products has been verified by the International Sustainability & Carbon Certificate (ISCC), awarded based on the mass balance approach. The ISCC has become the established certification scheme for organic and recycled materials in the energy, food, feed and chemicals sectors.

Mechanical/material recycling

Mechanical (material) recycling preserves the chemical structure of single-origin plastics. The used plastics are processed, melted and made into a secondary raw material for new plastic products. This secondary raw material is usually what is known as regranulate, which can be used to manufacture new products.

Mechanical Recycling

The benefits:
Unlike chemical recycling, mechanical recycling has a positive energy balance, reducing greenhouse gases by an amount roughly equivalent to that generated by a medium-sized German city. It also prolongs the lifecycle of raw materials – especially plastics, sand and infill granules. What’s more, mechanical recycling complies with the waste-hierarchy principle and other regulations, while enabling the waste-free production of new products.
