EU adopts proposed infill restriction

EU countries have voted in favour of a proposal to restrict the placement onto the market of microplastics that are intentionally added to products. However, instead of the transitional period of six years for polymeric infill for third-generation synthetic turf the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) had proposed, it has been decided to grant the industry an eight-year grace period.

Belgium embraces Brockfill

Football club KSVB from Brasschaat, Belgium, has selected a Condor Grass football turf system with Brockfill infill to futureproof its facility. The 100% natural infill complies with the upcoming legislation the European Commission is about to adopt to safeguard the environment. The new surfaces will also finally enable the club to welcome a long list of aspiring members.
