GREEN TECHNOLOGY
LEADING THE INDUSTRY THROUGH GREEN TECHNOLOGY
As part of Sport Group – the world’s largest business dedicated to synthetic sports and recreation surfaces – SYNLawn is committed to driving sustainability across every stage of product development. Sport Group’s global portfolio includes 20 companies, such as AstroTurf, Poligras, and SYNLawn, all united by a shared mission: to make synthetic surfaces greener and more responsible for future generations.
Through our exclusive Green Technology initiative, we look at the entire lifecycle of a product – from raw material sourcing to end-of-life recycling – to minimise environmental impact and maximise innovation.
How We’re Reducing Our Footprint
- Renewable Materials –Replacing carbon-rich raw materials with bio-based and recycled inputs
- Green Energy – 25% of our manufacturing already powered by renewable energy
- Recycling Solutions – Dedicated pathways for end-of-life turf to avoid landfill
- Eco Design– Every product is engineered with recyclability and sustainability built in from the start
This eco-driven approach ensures our products not only meet today’s standards but also anticipate tomorrow’s environmental challenges.
Recycled Household Paint in Turf Backing
Launching September 2025 , SYNLawn will introduce a world-first innovation – incorporating recycled household paint into the latex backing of our turf.
Through an exclusive partnership with Paintback , an industry-led initiative diverting unwanted paint from landfill, SYNLawn turf backings will transition from traditional black to green. This simple but powerful change reduces waste and showcases our dedication to sustainable manufacturing.
Bio-Based Artificial Landscaping Grass
SYNLawn Classic GT is our first landscaping turf made with 60% bio-based sugarcane – offering a high-performance, eco-friendly alternative to conventional synthetic grass.
Developed using the same technology as Poligras hockey turfs at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, Classic GT delivers the perfect balance of durability, performance, and sustainability.
- Sugarcane absorbs carbon dioxide rather than emitting it, unlike petroleum-based materials.
- Natural, renewable and recyclable – reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
- Cool and soft underfoot with our exclusive COOLplus® heat-reduction technology.
Classic GT proves that sustainability and performance can go hand in hand.
