Sustainability On a Roll to Zero Emission

As Condor Grass, we have built a worthy position in the artificial turf world. Through our various products within the landscape and sports sector, we have built up a wide range of national and international stakeholders. Together with our customers, governments and municipalities, we offer our products in a sustainable way and continuously work on optimising our production processes. With our members, we aim to produce fully energy-neutral circular products in the foreseeable future. And we are already well on our way, with among others our artificial turf ALLOA Pura and the natural infill material BrockFill

Alloa Pura Circular artificial grass

We have launched ALLOA Pura, our artificial turf made from a single material: polypropylene. Because the fibre layer contains no mixed polymers, it can be processed as a mono-stream at the end of its service life, without materials having to be separated first.

BrockFill The natural infill

For sports turf we use a wood infill: BrockFill. The infill is 100% wood of a specific grain size — kiln-dried pine, with no rubber or other polymer granulate.

That has two concrete consequences. BrockFill holds Cradle to Cradle Certified® Gold for Material Health, an independent assessment of its material composition. And because the system contains no polymer infill, it falls outside the EU restriction on polymer granulate for sports surfaces, which takes effect in 17 October 2031.

The first two football pitches with BrockFill are now in place in the Netherlands. Both are certified under the FIFA Quality Programme, which tests playing characteristics — ball rebound, shock absorption and rotational resistance. In other words: pitches to show your best game on.

Automatisation Our robots

Sustainable and circular products naturally require efficient production. As Condor Grass, we have two state-of-the-art robots in our new building that can put on bobbins at the press of a few buttons. These artificial grass yarns on the bobbins are often heavier than bobbins with carpet yarns. These robots will put on the bobbins at a fixed speed.

Sustainable goals Our implementation of the SDG

As one of Europe's largest carpet producers, we are aware that our ecological footprint on the world is large. Therefore, we map our own impact as much as possible, set sustainable targets and take strong action. To achieve this, we conform to the UN's 17 SDGs. These sustainable development goals relate to key societal issues, including climate change. They are a call to all countries and companies to join forces and tackle some of the world's most pressing social and environmental issues.

Sustainable buildings BREEAM Outstanding

Our members Condor Carpets and Condor Grass have received the highest attainable sustainability label for their production sites; BREEAM Outstanding. This sustainability label shows that these sites have been built in a sustainable and responsible manner. In addition, these premises continue to promote biodiversity as various types of herbs were sprinkled around them, space for birds in the birdhouses was created and swallows can nest in the swallow wall next to the Condor Grass premises.
