Fieldturf offers recyclable synthetic turf

ERJ staff report (DS)

Peachtree City, Georgai -- FieldTurf has introduced two synthetic turf lines which are 100% recyclable. One, FieldTurf APT (All Purpose Turf), is aimed at pet owners, playgrounds or high traffic areas. The other, FieldTurf Lush, was developed for applications around pools, rooftops and areas where lower infill is desired.

Both products feature FieldTurf's new, proprietary Ecobac backing process which provides, and in many cases, exceed all of the benefits of traditional polyurethane backing systems while enabling the 100% recyclability.

"By not using nylon fibers in our products, we can offer the most realistic feel in the marketplace. It's not scratchy like many competitors. Consumers sometimes have trouble telling the difference versus natural turf," said Richard Spanjian, President and General Manager of FieldTurf's Greenscapes Division. "Unlike competitive 'low-infill' offerings, our Ecobac is superior in structural stability and drainage. These are just the first two of several superior synthetic turf products to be introduced in the coming months. We are continually striving to improve our product benefits for our customers and distributors."
