ESTC EMEA Synthetic Turf Council, formerly known as ESTO, is the industry association for the synthetic turf industry and has the vision to serve as a forum for the promotion, development, growth and advocacy of the synthetic turf industry. ESTC is the voice of the industry and wants to fulfil its role through close cooperation with all parties involved, i.e. members, end users, sports boards and legislators.
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 recent years, more and more attention is being paid to sustainability, circularity and corporate social responsibility (CSR). Because of the growing popularity and necessity for ‘green’ initiatives, these terms are thrown around all the time. Sometimes rightly so, but also often unjustly. As a result, a new term has emerged, namely: greenwashing. This term is given to companies and organizations that pretend to be greener or more socially responsible than they actually are. Fortunately, there are also companies that are truly green and therefore deserve a place in the GreenMatter top 3 most promising green startups based in the Netherlands.
Where some people get their satisfaction from sports, others look forward to the third half. Let’s face it; after sports, there is nothing like chatting in the sunshine while enjoying a drink and/or a snack.
Besides municipalities, more and more clubs and managers of sports facilities are working on sustainability and savings. However, clubs often encounter bottlenecks and do not know exactly where to start.
With the MKI (environmental cost indicator), the environmental impact of a product or design is demonstrated. As a result, sustainability is becoming an increasingly important part of projects. To achieve a circular economy, we need to handle materials with care, among other things. Sustainable use of materials is therefore essential.
Following on from the various stands in the W&H Sports product range, there is now also a GreenMatter stand. For years, our partner W&H Sports has been engaged in the sale of various grandstands. Based on the available space and the desired number of seats, advice is given on the right type of stand.
