Built for Performance. Designed for Sustainability.

Smarter Artificial Grass, Designed for a More Sustainable Future

At SYNLawn, sustainability isn’t an add-on – it’s built into everything we do.

Manufactured in Australia by APT Asia Pacific, part of Sport Group, SYNLawn products are designed with a clear purpose: to deliver high-performance artificial grass solutions while reducing environmental impact across the entire product lifecycle.

From responsible material selection and advanced manufacturing to recycling and end-of-life solutions, we are committed to creating surfaces that support people, communities and the planet.

Our Global Commitment to Sustainability

Being part of Sport Group, SYNLawn is supported by the world’s largest business dedicated to sports and recreational surfaces, with sustainability embedded across the entire ecosystem - from global strategy through to local manufacturing in Australia.

Our approach focuses on:

R&D

Our R&D approach follows the principles of eco-design meaning that we heavily pursue the development of possibilities to increase the use of recycled / renewable input materials within our products. At the same time, the recyclability at the end of the products’ life cycles is always considered from the very beginning of the product engineering cycle.

Carbon emissions

Across our production facilities we are increasingly switching to renewables as the main source of energy. By 2021 Sport Group had achieved a 25% reduction in GHG emissions (Scope 1 & 2) compared to the baseline year 2018. Sport Group’s carbon intensity (Scope 1 & 2) had reduced by 30% compared to the baseline year 2018. In order to monitor our emissions on the path to zero emissions by 2050 we have committed ourselves to annual CO2 emissions tracking and reporting.

Renewable Energy

As a globally operating group with large-scale industrial production, renewable energy sourcing represents a substantial opportunity to minimise our organisations’ impact on the climate and environment. Over the last 5 years, APT and Sport Group have managed to significantly increase our renewable energy share across the production side of the business and are on track to further grow the share of renewables. We are aiming to reach at least 55% of renewable electricity by 2025.

Sport Group’s global Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy is focused on maximising positive impact while minimising environmental footprint across its entire value chain.

As part of this, every SYNLawn solution is developed with sustainability, performance and long-term responsibility in mind.

Green Technology

SYNLawn’s Green Technology initiative combines advanced material science with eco-conscious design principles to deliver more sustainable turf solutions.

At its core is eco design thinking – meaning sustainability is considered from the very beginning of the product lifecycle:

  • Increased use of bio-based and recycled materials
  • Focus on durability and longevity to reduce replacement
  • Design for end-of-life recyclability
  • Continuous improvement in manufacturing efficiency and waste reduction

This ensures SYNLawn products deliver long-term performance with reduced environmental impact.

COOLplus® Technology

SYNLawn’s COOLplus® technology is designed to improve comfort and usability in hot climates. It works by helping to reduce heat build-up in direct sunlight, making surfaces more comfortable for families, pets and play areas. At the same time, it creates a matte, low-glare finish for a more natural look, while supporting better usability and performance throughout the year.

End-of-Life Turf Recycling

As the founding partner of RE4ORM™ Recycling, Sport Group Asia Pacific is leading the development of Australia’s first dedicated turf recycling facility in Barnawartha, Victoria.

SYNLawn proudly supports this initiative, which is designed to process end-of-life artificial turf systems, separating and repurposing materials to reduce landfill and advance a circular economy.
