We are preferencing products made partially from recycled materials like insitu or preforma shockpad.

• Through the design and construction phases, we will aim to recycle or reuse existing materials.
• In the new pitch we will utilise environmentally sustainable materials and elements. Certain elements, like shockpad and sand infill, are designed to be reused for at least 25 years
• The current surface will be reused where appropriate. If required, the surface will be recycled at Australia’s first synthetic Turf Recycling Hub in 2025.

The new surface will use a dual yarn system (monofilament and tape) to:

• Capture the infill effectively
• Reduce ball splash and infill migration
• Extend the life expectancy of the organic infill
• Lower the surface temperature and meet durability requirements.

Organic infill will be used to:

• Lower the surface temperature by around 30%
• Reduce Urban Heat Island effects
• Minimise microplastic pollution on the field
• Allow for reuse at the end of its life
• Decrease the overall carbon footprint.

Preference will be given to synthetic manufactured in Australia. This will reduce carbon emissions from transportation.
