Market situation
Influenced by the big artificial grass manufactures FIFA and UEFA are recommending their multi star systems as the best for playing football or similar sports and they are supporting soccer associations world wide technically and financially. Artificial grass manufactured in rolls combined with a Polyethylene fibre and pile height up to 55–60 mm will need an infill of quartz sand and rubber crumbs. This combination is meeting all technical request and specifications of FIFA and UEFA and looks quiet nice and outstanding in a start-up phase. The so called 3. generation of artificial grass will loose its playing characteristics in 2–4 years as the quartz will sink to the ground of the carpet and the biggest part of the rubber crumbs will be deposited by wind and playing on the pitches. This results that the requested technical specifications will shortly not be met anymore and therefore the total systems of this 3. generation grass will just cause problems and in addition to that creates enormous maintenance. In central Europe or countries where the manpower is expensive these pitches are nearly unaffordable. In our opinion it will be just a question of time that FIFA and UEFA will not anymore recommend such infill systems.
