From waste stream to resource stream: truly circular artificial grass starts with conscious choices.

1 July 2025

"By embracing the reuse of valuable materials in this way within society, we give real meaning to the concept of sustainability once again."

The Netherlands has set clear ambitions:

  • By 2030: 50% reduction in the use of primary raw materials

  • By 2050: A fully circular economy

Municipalities play a key role in achieving these goals.
But in practice, we often see worn-out artificial turf simply transported to recycling facilities—under the assumption that “the circle is complete.”

However, recycling without reuse is not circularity.

At GreenMatter, we make sure that worn-out artificial turf doesn’t just get “disposed of,” but is transformed into high-quality, long-lasting products.
Products like: edging boards, sheet piling, grass tiles, sports flooring, outdoor furniture, and more.

When recycled products are prioritized over traditional new ones, we truly close the loop.

  • Only then does a waste stream become a resource stream

  • Only then do we contribute to the goals of the Dutch Raw Materials Agreement

  • Only then does circularity become real—measurable and visible

GreenMatter challenges municipalities:
Make circular procurement a true priority—and give recycled artificial turf a second life within your own community.
