The first innovative hybrid turf system for high-performance and safe sports pitches because traction, stability and softness of the playing surface are characteristics players seek and only POWERgrass offers them 365 days a year.
POWERgrass combines the advantages of natural grass with the resistance of synthetic grass to offer a reinforced natural grass pitch for up to 30 hours a week.
POWERgrass has as a strategic objective the more efficient use of resources in a circular economy to promote the environment and employment.
POWERgrass has a positive environmental impact because it follows the teachings of regenerative agriculture which contributes to lower temperatures, carbon sequestration and air purification. Anchoring the natural grass to the synthetic turf preserves the soil from erosion and prevents damage from flooding.
The life cycle of the system is estimated at more than 20 years when combined with regular maintenance of the natural grass because it protects the synthetic fibres from UV radiation and achieves a perfect symbiosis of natural and synthetic grass.
The system requires reduced maintenance because it provides the ideal habitat for growing natural grass, which is more resistant to intensive trampling and therefore generates savings of more than 30% over its life cycle compared to other sports surfaces.
POWERgrass will never let you down because it is always playable, even when natural grass is missing for any reason.
In the interview our partner Graham Longdin and our expert Niko Sarris confirm the validity of POWERgrass!
In our latest realisation for the upgrading of the 'Riviera delle Palme' stadium in San Benedetto del Tronto, we outdid ourselves by handing over the pitch for play 17 days after seeding. After more than 40 matches, training sessions and finishing touches, the pitch has survived even a harsh and rainy winter without a single divot, and President Serafino's compliments have arrived with good reason.
When it comes to environmental sustainability, a term that is often contrasted is "greenwashing". What exactly does this refer to? And how does greenwashing manifest itself in sports facilities with natural or synthetic turf?
Introduction to Greenwashing and its manifestation in sports facilities
What are the environmental standards and how do they influence the choice between different types of sports fields?
Over the past three years, there have been significant changes in the environmental standards relating to playfields, which occurred following growing concerns about player safety, pollution, and general health. These new standards have had a significant impact on the selection criteria among the different types of playfields available in the market. In particular, this has led to a change in the types of playfields chosen by sports associations.
What are the challenges associated with the maintenance of grass playing fields and the disposal of old synthetic grass fields? How does the POWERgrass hybrid system solve this?
Keeping grass playing fields in optimal condition requires constant commitment, which includes activities such as regular mowing, irrigation, line marking, fertilization, weed control, and pest management. Damage caused by intensive use and extreme weather conditions can render the fields unusable or require costly repair interventions.
