Innovation

Purpose that Drives Progress.

Turf is more than a surface. It creates room for movement, connection and long-term value. The aim is clear: healthier communities through systems that perform today and remain reliable over time. It starts with access, to sport, to space and to lasting opportunities. Every design choice, material decision and partnership reflects a responsibility that goes beyond the product itself, toward people, the environment and future generations.

Communities
Movement supports physical and mental health. Play builds confidence and strengthens communities. Yet in many places, space and resources are limited. Turf can make sport possible where natural grass cannot meet demand. This is not about replacing nature, but about creating access in places where it would otherwise be out of reach. Infrastructure becomes a tool for inclusion, well-being and local development.
Football-pitch
Impact is shown in real outcomes: water-free hockey systems like Pure EP save up to 20,000 litres per match, new turf uses fewer raw materials with lower emissions, and infill-free systems such as Pure PT and Pivot® improve recyclability. With ONE-DNA™, a single-polymer design enables closed-loop recovery, while proven durability is backed by athlete data and biomechanics.

The future of turf is defined not only by materials but by the systems built around them. Long-term value comes from surfaces that are durable, recyclable and responsible in use, designed to serve both people and planet.
