Keeping rubber granulate on the artificial turf pitch is paramount. For the sake of nature – but also to keep the need for granulate refill at an absolute minimum. Fortunately, relatively simple measures make a huge difference, and we can all do something! Watch this new video for inspiration. For a sustainable future…

The Danish national tyre collection scheme is probably the most climate and environment-friendly tyre collection scheme in the world. Introduced back in 1995, the Danish tyre collection scheme was the very first such scheme in the world. At that time, focus was environmental remediation and clean-up of landfills with scrap tyres.  

Over the past decade, concerns that rubber infill made from end-of-life tyres (ELTs) should pose a potential health risk have now and then been raised in the media. Contentions have been that people who are exposed to rubber infill used in artificial turf face an increased risk of developing cancer, as the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contained in ELT infill are carcinogenic. However, these speculations are not evidence-based. Ample scientific evidence has established that rubber infill made from end-of-life tyres does not pose any elevated health risk.
