Our Impact

Measured in people, planet and play

Impact is measured not by words but by outcomes, in how turf systems affect people, the environment and the future of the industry. TenCate’s role is to create solutions that last, reduce impact and expand access to play.

Communities
Turf makes movement possible in places where natural grass cannot grow or be maintained. From Cruyff Courts to Project Curaçao, these spaces bring children and young people together, lowering barriers to sport and creating safe places to connect. Access to play is not a side effect but a priority.
Performance and longevity
Impact also means reliability over time. Surfaces designed and tested at the Centre for Turf Innovation last longer, require less maintenance and remain safe under pressure. That extends value for clubs, schools and communities while reducing the materials, energy and cost tied to replacement.
Duurzaam-kunstgras
Circular design changes turf from a product into a resource. Infill-free systems and single-polymer designs such as ONE-DNA™ simplify recycling, cut transport weight and reduce emissions. Dedicated partnerships in Europe and the US ensure end-of-life recovery is no longer theory but practice. Independent lifecycle assessments provide measurable proof.

After more than 300 years, the role of textiles is still evolving. Today, it is not only about performance but about responsibility. Each new system reflects the belief that sport and play should strengthen both people and planet.
