The biennial leading trade fair GaLaBau celebrated its comeback from 14 to 17 September 2022, after the last edition was four years ago due to corona. Domo Sports Grass was represented at the show along with its sister brand Fungrass. The focus of this year‘s show was on sustainability and this focus was met in particular by the Domo® Infinitum (PE) backing.
The path to a sustainable future Domo Sports Grass has recently set new standards in environmental friendliness. For the past two years, Domo Sports Grass’ co-founded, Europe’s first full-scale recycling factory for artificial turf systems has been successfully operating in Amsterdam, recycling artificial turf systems of all kinds. Now the next step towards a circular economy has been taken. Domo Sports Grass has launched a completely recyclable artificial turf: Domo® Infinitum.
The environmentally friendly complete solution The complete solution presented at GaLaBau is a system that is not only recyclable but 100 % renewable in the same material cycle (Domo® Infinitum), made of 100 % organic infill material (Domo® Naturafill), has a special fiber technology that prevents the loss of infill material (Domo® VarioSlide S Pro) and saves over 95 % resources (Domo®flex). All elements of this system have been developed with respect for the environment, without neglecting performance, durability and sports functionality.
Galabau Innovation Medal 2022 With the novel and innovative backing material Domo® Infinitum, artificial turf systems are now offered that are fully recyclable in a closed loop. Domo® Infinitum is a backing made of PE, which guarantees a latex- and polyurethanefree turf surface. The artificial turf system consists of a single group of materials and can be processed into pure granules at the end of its service life. This granulate can in turn be used for the production of new artificial grass fibers.
Domo® Infinitum has been awarded the GaLaBau Innovation Medal 2022. This is a great recognition for the company and all its employees who give their best every day to provide their customers with the highest quality and most innovative products.
