What is the impact of artificial grass on the environment?

These days the environment is an important factor in deciding to use artificial grass. Artificial turf is very eco-friendly. An artificial lawn means no more mowing, fertilising, watering and, equally as important, no more chemicals for lawn maintenance. In the United States, a number of subsidy schemes are available to promote the use of artificial turf, largely because of the water savings it offers. The ban on plasticizers and heavy metals in the production of artificial grass is controlled by strict environmental standards (DIN 18035-7 regarding leaching of heavy metals). Low maintenance: as artificial grass does not grow it does not need to be mowed with an electric mower. This leads to zero energy costs and zero harmful emissions. Water savings: there is no valuable drinking water required for artificial grass. Sustainability: artificial grass has a long life – depending, of course, on the quality chosen. When you buy a durable artificial grass product this ultimately means there will be less waste and less need for recycling. You may have thought that having an artificial lawn is bad for the environment, but fortunately for us, the opposite is true!

WATER SAVINGS

One of the biggest benefits of artificial grass on the environment is perhaps its potential for water savings. Royal Grass® needs no irrigation to stay green. The only time you will need water for your artificial lawn is to clean it, if necessary.

FEWER PESTICIDES AND FERTILIZERS USED

As there is no regular chemical treatment necessary for Royal Grass®, a major source of groundwater pollution and human exposure to chemicals are eliminated. In case of residential use of artificial grass, it also offers the benefit of reducing the amount of chemicals (and dirt) taken into homes.

Royal Grass® is without chemicals which make our products especially suitable for families with children. Children often like to play on the grass meaning they spend a lot of time in close contact with grass, and they could affected severely by contact with pesticides.

SAFE FOR PEOPLE AND ENVIRONMENT

Royal Grass® fibres do not contain any plasticizers or heavy metals, so our grass is absolutely safe for both people and the environment. We guarantee that the fibres comply with the strictest standards. There are no dangers known of having artificial grass in your garden.
