The Bosbaan in the Amsterdamse Bos is an (inter)nationally known rowing course. For this project, we replaced the wood of all the starting rafts with deck planks. The deck planks are made of recycled artificial grass and with this, the municipality of Amsterdam is once again actively contributing to reducing the artificial grass waste mountain. A total of 6,835 kg of recycled artificial grass was returned, which is just over half a soccer field!
GreenMatter is a joint venture between Lankhorst Recycling Products and W&H Sports. With this joint venture we respond to the increasing demand for recycled products and bundle our knowledge, skills and investments in innovation. Through this cooperation there are more opportunities to scale up and to focus on recycled artificial grass products outside the sport in addition to circular solutions for the sport. This could include solutions for ground-, road- and hydraulic engineering.
At the moment the delivery programme consists of park benches, picnic sets, batting and edging boards, locking straps, terrace and decking boards made from recycled artificial grass. Within the framework of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), we make use of a social workshop, namely: Empatec, in the manufacture of these products
In September 2020, GreenMatter won the prestigious award of the Plastics Recycling Award Europe. GreenMatter received the award in the ``Building & Construction Product of the Year`` category. This award strengthens us in our mission to reduce the growing plastic waste mountain. Plenty of challenges ahead!
