Athletes, clubs, and sports facility managers face growing pressure to deliver safer, more efficient, and environmentally responsible surfaces. Traditional synthetic infills and underlayments often fall short—especially in thermal behavior, lifespan, and sustainability.
Amorim Sports’ cork-based components — used in infills and shock pads — are reshaping expectations for sports surfaces. The benefits are clear:
Shock Absorption & Energy Return: Cork helps muscle fatigue and lowers injury risk.
Comfort: Natural texture improves athlete experience.
Consistent Playability: Reliable performance in all seasons and weather conditions.
Cooler Playing Surfaces: Cork’s air-filled cellular structure insulates against heat, significantly reducing surface temperatures — a growing advantage in the face of climate change and urban heat islands.
Resistance to Wear: Cork resists compaction and degradation, even with intensive use.
Lower Maintenance Needs: Its structure supports long-term consistency and reduces upkeep costs.
Natural and Renewable: 100% recyclable and harvested without harming the tree.
Free from Harmful Substances: All products are microplastic-free and REACH-compliant.
Environmentally Responsible: Supports circular economy principles and enhances community health and safety.
Cork is rapidly becoming the material of choice for sports clubs, sports infrastructure specialists, and municipalities aiming for high-performance surfaces that combine safety, durability, and environmental responsibility. Whether in the form of infills or shock pads, Amorim Sports delivers a superior, future-proof alternative to conventional materials — built to meet the most demanding technical and sustainability standards.
