AstroTurf Partnership Elevates Environmental Leadership AstroTurf, the industry pioneer in synthetic turf systems and a top-tier ESG brand, is excited to announce its latest partnership with Cyclyx International. Cyclyx is a consortium-based, post-use plastic innovation company committed to increasing the recyclability of plastic waste from 10% to 90%. As AstroTurf approaches its 60th anniversary in 2025, the company reflects on its heritage, which began with providing the revolutionary synthetic playing surface for the Houston Astrodome. Known as an architectural marvel and once dubbed the Eighth Wonder of the World, the Astrodome required an equally innovative surface that could withstand conditions without sunlight. AstroTurf met this challenge with a technologically superior synthetic material, setting new standards for Major League Baseball and, by extension, environmental responsibility. With an unwavering dedication to product quality and athlete performance, AstroTurf has equally committed itself to sustainable development. The company aims to achieve zero waste by early 2024, continually employing inventive strategies to address and minimize plastic waste. AstroTurf is proud to offer a “climate positive” turf product made from Bio-Based PE (Bio Polyethylene), which incorporates 60% renewably sourced raw materials such as sustainably farmed sugar cane, thereby reducing both carbon footprint and water usage. “We are thrilled to be joining forces
with Cyclyx as part of their esteemed consortium,” says Rob Mitchell, AstroTurf Vice President of Business Development. “Our robust commitment to ESG goals finds an ideal match in Cyclyx’s resources, expert guidance, and wealth of opportunities. Our comprehensive research into recycling and sustainability solutions highlights the importance of selecting the perfect collaborator to convert our innovative concepts into practical, meaningful outcomes. In this respect, Cyclyx and its consortium members offer an unparalleled synergy, and we look forward to a fruitful partnership.” By becoming a part of Cyclyx’s network of circular-minded enterprises, AstroTurf is better positioned to advance its mission of delivering environmentally responsible, low-maintenance, and economically viable alternatives to natural grass. The collaboration with Cyclyx enables sustainable methodologies across AstroTurf’s manufacturing, installation, and end-of-life procedures. It opens the door to divert over 10 million pounds of PE waste destined for landfills towards circular
16
recycling routes, with up to 90% of this waste potentially being repurposed. “Cyclyx’s deep expertise in handling post-use plastics will significantly bolster AstroTurf’s ability to meet its ambitious sustainability objectives,” says Ron Sherga, Vice President, Membership Engagement of Cyclyx. “AstroTurf is a beloved brand in the world of sports, and together we will ensure it’s recognized not only for its high-quality products but also for its commitment to environmental preservation.” About AstroTurf: AstroTurf has been revolutionizing the way athletes and sports enthusiasts experience the game for nearly six decades.

AstroTurf introduces wonder-fiber TRIONIC PLUS AstroTurf’s wonder-fiber and “The Synthetic Turf Council’s 2019 Innovation of the Year” just got better. AstroTurf has always prided itself on being the leader of innovation in the synthetic turf industry. It’s latest product, TRIONIC PLUS, is another advancement that is the result of years of pre-market research and development, allowing for optimal long-term integrity and durability. The TRIONIC PLUS wonder fiber features three distinct added technologies – Sanitized silver-based technology, DualChill thermal shield, and StatBlock anti-Static component. These technologies work together to create a turf that is not only more durable, but also more hygienic, cooler, and safer to use. Sanitized silver-based antimicrobial technology helps eliminate odors and provides long-lasting protection. It works by eliminating bacterial odors and preventing the buildup of microbes on AstroTurf face fibers. It provides up to 99% reduction in bacteria. DualChill’s ability to act as a thermal shield strengthens the fibers allowing them to be more resilient and durable over long time periods. Test results done on the same fiber package, with and without DualChill, shows that there is an average of up to 42% improvement in IR reflectivity and up to 12 degrees cooler in fiber temperature. New carbon-based anti-static ingredient molecularly bound into the face fibers that inhibits the buildup of static electricity. Anti-static components are used in the industry, but AstroTurf brings the first DNA level addition. Testing shows up to a 17-times reduction in static levels when StatBlock is introduced into the synthetic turf fibers. “We are thrilled to launch the TRIONIC PLUS, which is the result of years
of research and development,” said Rob Mitchell, AstroTurf’s vice president of business development. “This cutting-edge technology sets a new standard for fibers in the synthetic turf industry, and we are confident that it will set a new standard for safety, hygiene, and performance.” Through its development of blending polyethylene (PE) and nylon into a single fiber to create TRIONIC fiber, AstroTurf was awarded “The Innovator of the Year” in 2019 by the Synthetic Turf Council. TRIONIC was an incredible breakthrough, creating a molecular fusion of nylon and polyethylene that is softer, stronger, and longer lasting. The secret is in the compatibilizers. These compounds encase the nylon polymers, which are suspended within the PE to reinforce the fiber. These compatibilizers have an affinity with both the PE and the nylon. They are polar on the inside, and non-polar on the outside. In essence, the compatibilizers bridge the gap. From the industry’s earliest inception until the 1990s, nylon was used nearly across the board for its superior resilience and strength. The downside of all-nylon fibers was well-known. It was abrasive. In the 1990s, polyeth-
20
ylene came into vogue and became the industry standard for tall pile face fibers. The PE fibers were much less abrasive, but they sacrificed the strength that previous generations of turf fields offered. But all of this is in the past as AstroTurf has reinvented PE – making it better, stronger, TRIONIC. The STC recognized the TRIONIC innovation as a significant accomplishment that helped to advance the industry by providing a fiber that is less abrasive yet more durable. Receiving the award served as validation from industry peers that this fiber is a technological advancement that raises the bar on the standards by which turf fibers are measured. TRIONIC PLUS takes the AstroTurf wonder-fiber to another level. AstroTurf, the icon that invented the industry, still leads in driving innovation in the synthetic turf industry.

“The initial response we’ve received from our teams who have already experienced playing on the new AstroTurf fields has been incredible,” said Lauren Morris, General Manager of The Ripken Experience™ Aberdeen. “The field conditions remain immaculate through all seasons and conditions.”
“The Diamond Series is the best of the best when it comes to baseball turf systems. We know these new fields will serve their purpose well – to let even more young athletes experience the feel of playing in the big leagues,”

Synthetic Turf Council Honors AstroTurf as 2023 Award Recipient for Multifield Sports Project of the Year Dalton, GA – On October 16, 2023, the Synthetic Turf Council honored AstroTurf as the recipient of the 2023 Multifield Sports Project of the Year at the sixth Annual STC Awards Ceremony during the Annual Conference and 20th Anniversary Celebration in New Orleans, Louisiana. The STC Sports Project of the Year Award – Multi-Field recognizes an outstanding sports project installed by an STC member company that exhibits innovation and quality reflective of the STC mission. AstroTurf is the winner for their installation for IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. IMG Academy, a globally renowned institution for sports and education, has successfully completed a two-year-long project of installing advanced AstroTurf fields throughout its campus. The comprehensive project has led to the creation of nine state-of-the-art fields, each catering to a variety of sports including baseball, football, lacrosse, and soccer. The project includes six baseball infields equipped with AstroTurf’s innovative Diamond Series RootZone RBI system, providing unmatched durability, performance, and safety. These fields cleverly incorporate synthetic turf “clay areas” to mimic infield dirt and “grass areas” to resemble natural grass. Additionally, a stadium field and several practice fields for football and lacrosse have been outfitted with AstroTurf’s RootZone 3D3 Trionic Blend product. This advanced synthetic turf system combines three distinct fibers to offer improved stability, durability, and reduced infill flyout, proving to be an exceptional surface for numerous sports. This project incorporated BrockFill and Brock ShockPad in the fields’ construction. BrockFill, a natural infill made from
sustainably sourced wood fibers, offers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional rubber infill, contributing to carbon sequestration and cooler surface temperatures. Meanwhile, the Brock ShockPad provides excellent shock absorption, and prolongs the lifespan of the field while helping to provide a consistent playing surface. The completion of these high-quality AstroTurf fields showcases IMG Academy’s ongoing commitment to providing its student-athletes with exceptional facilities. This initiative is a testament to the institution’s investment in modern technology and infrastructure to boost the overall experience of its student-athletes and better prepare them for their future athletic endeavors. The project’s conclusion reinforces IMG Academy’s position as a premier destination for athletes seeking to refine their skills in an elite setting. The STC Awards is a member program designed to honor members who help to promote the association’s values and advance the synthetic turf industry.

Synthetic Turf Council Honors AstroTurf as 2023 Award Recipient for Single Field Sports Project of the Year Dalton, GA – On October 16, 2023, the Synthetic Turf Council honored AstroTurf as the recipient of the 2023 Single Field Sports Project of the Year at the sixth Annual STC Awards Ceremony during the Annual Conference and 20th Anniversary Celebration in New Orleans, Louisiana. The STC Single Field Sports Project of the Year Award recognizes an outstanding sports project installed by an STC member company that exhibits innovation and quality reflective of the STC mission. AstroTurf is the winner for their installation for Duke University Field Hockey. Duke University Field Hockey made history as the first collegiate team in the United States to install AstroTurf’s Poligras Tokyo GT (Green Technology) field hockey system. This state-of-the-art turf was installed at Williams Field at Jack Katz Stadium in June 2022, marking a significant milestone in eco-friendly athletic surfaces in the country. The standout feature of the project is the blue Tokyo GT turf, specially designed for the Tokyo Olympics. It consists of 60 percent sugar cane, a sustainable crop that actively captures CO2 from the atmosphere. By incorporating this renewable material, the field saves water, conserves resources, and reduces carbon dioxide emissions.
This pioneering project by Duke University Field Hockey, in collaboration with AstroTurf, demonstrates their commitment to sustainability, innovation, and providing student-athletes with an exceptional playing surface. By introducing the first Poligras Tokyo GT field in the United States, they pave the way for the future of eco-friendly field hockey surfaces and set a shining example for other institutions and sports organizations to follow. This Tokyo GT turf was installed over a 10mm E-Layer pad to provide shock absorption and consistency throughout the field. The STC Awards is a member program designed to honor members who help to promote the association’s values and advance the synthetic turf industry.
