TenCate Grass Launches First-of-Its Kind Synthetic Turf Recycling Program in the U.S.

摘要

TenCate Grass, the world's leading manufacturer, distributor and installer of synthetic turf for sports and landscape applications, announced a first-of-its-kind program in the U.S. to recycle end-of-life artificial grass - a groundbreaking initiative that leverages Cyclyx's feedstock processing expertise and ExxonMobil's ExxtendTM technology for advanced recycling. The goal of this effort is to help solve the problem that has challenged the industry for years: how to efficiently and effectively recycle synthetic turf into feedstock that can be used to create new turf and other valuable products. "At TenCate, we are committed to leading the industry and moving sustainability forward in a meaningful way," said Joe Fields, President and CEO of TenCate Grass Americas. Known as TenCate Turf Recycling Solutions, the program is starting by processing 50 aged turf fields from high schools and college campuses, including one from Stanford University. The end-of-life turf will be shipped to a Southern California facility where it will be shredded.
