Cork or cork-based infills and shock pads reinvent artificial sports turf systems, whi-le promoting sustainability and the circular economy.

The use of natural cork or cork combined with other materials as an infill is favoured due to corks’ many positive proprieties, such as: low density (insulation properties with low heat absorption when exposed to sunlight), high elasticity (because of the large share of air that fills its cell structure), high strength…

The global growth in the number of artificial turf pitches has given rise to questions on the impact of this type of system on the environment and user safety, calling for a discussion on the technology and materials used for such infrastructures.

This depends on quality and type of cork-based infill, of course. Usually, all our infill products are designed to last full lifetime of an artificial turf field.
