ARENA Concept

ARENA Concept is the first on-site handling solution that enables used artificial grass to be reused and/or recycled in an economically sustainable way. It covers the whole process from the removal of used artificial grass with special machinery to complete infill material separation, cleaning, drying, recycling and reuse. Used artificial grass could be reinstalled to new location or recycled on-site. It enables 100% of materials to be reused in new sports fields or as recycled raw materials in other industries.

ARENA Concept makes constructing sports fields more affordable for clients, while ensuring the highest degree of quality and solving the biggest problem associated with artificial grass fields – environmental pollution.

Step 1: Artificial grass roll-up

We remove the artificial grass from a full-size sports field with the Crab in one day. The grass with sand and/or rubber inside is rolled up in 4-metre-wide strips, with a total of just 30 rolls. Pressure on the subbase is minimal, and there is no damage to the shock pad or heating system. The Crab could also remove the e-layer in-situ (artificial grass shock pad) for recycling.

Step 2: Infill reclamation

Rolls are processed off the field by the Arena Master where they do not interfere with installing new artificial grass. We reclaim 100% of the infill from the grass. After this process, the grass will be rolled again. The infill mixture can undergo a separation process. Also, infill reclamation is done at storage sites if previously stored.

Step 3: Infill separation

If requested, sand and/or rubber are dried, cleaned and separated by the mobile Wizard module. The processed infill materials meet the highest quality standards and can be reinstalled. If possible, both the grass and infill are reinstalled as they are.

Step 4: Reinstallation

Used artificial grass could be reinstalled as a second-grade training field, school field or sold on the aftermarket if quality allows or requested by the customer. There is minimal loss of material in the installation process. Possibility to use new lining material.

Step 5: End of lifetime recycling

Once the artificial turf is cleaned from sand and rubber it is recycled with mobile recycling technology. Artificial turf, fiber backing and latex/PU are recycled into new materials for the plastics industry (granules for various plastic moulds).
