Keeping grassy playgrounds in excellent condition requires constant commitment, which includes activities such as regular mowing, watering, marking lines, fertilization, weed control and pest control. Damage caused by heavy use and extreme weather conditions can render courts unusable or require expensive repairs.
On the other hand, synthetic grass fields, although requiring less maintenance, need to be replaced after about 10 years. Furthermore, the disposal of old synthetic fields poses a significant environmental problem, given their non-biodegradability and the legislative restrictions on landfill disposal.
There are also significant and unexpected expenses linked to the disposal of synthetic pitches at the end of their life, often not foreseen even by the most expert designers. For example, in 2023 in the Municipality of Siena, they had to face an increase in costs to dispose of the rubber and sand present in the synthetic field, which turned out to be eco-toxic waste due to the excess of zinc.
A possible solution to these problems is represented by the POWERgrass hybrid system, which combines the advantages of natural and synthetic grass, improving the environmental impact. This system uses a special carpet with a three-dimensional mesh that supports the synthetic fibers and reinforces the natural grass, reducing the necessary maintenance.
Furthermore, the POWERgrass system facilitates the disposal of pitches at the end of their life, as the synthetic fibers are completely recyclable; Furthermore, the system can be reused to reinforce children's play areas or stabilize slopes. Finally, the lower need for water and fertilizers, combined with the elimination of pesticides, makes the impact on the environment overall positive.
In summary, the challenges related to the maintenance of grassy playing fields and the disposal of synthetic fields can be effectively managed with the use of the POWERgrass hybrid system, which improves wear resistance, reduces the maintenance required and produces less waste, promoting environmental sustainability.
