non-infill artificial turf can be recycled after its service life—but recyclability depends heavily on how the turf is designed and whether an appropriate collection and recycling system is available.
Traditional artificial turf can be difficult to recycle because its fibers, backing, coating, adhesive, sand, and rubber infill may consist of different materials. By contrast, a designed-for-recycling non-infill system can reduce material complexity by eliminating loose infill and using more compatible polymer components.
This means the more accurate answer is:
Non-infill turf can offer better recycling potential, but “recyclable” does not automatically mean that every used field will actually be recycled.
The product design, material composition, installation system, collection logistics, recycling technology, and end-market for recycled material all matter.
