In collaboration with CERU, we have taken the initiative to give new life to the rubber from artificial grass pitches that are at the end of their lifespan. SBR rubber infill was always by far the most commonly used infill material for artificial grass pitches. From 2023, the use of microplastics, including recycled material (SBR) in artificial grass pitches will be banned. This is with an eight-year transition period. This ban means that if the SBR rubber, from artificial grass pitches that are at the end of their lifespan, can no longer be re-used in new pitches and a sustainable use will be lost as well as a surplus being created.
The rubber infill material, originally manufactured from recycled car tyres, is now given a new purpose with the Relife® range of rubber products. Exceptionally sustainable rubber solutions that not only last a long time, but are also 100% recyclable at the end of their useful life.
