The application of biodegradable raw materials in non infill grass must achieve a delicate balance between environmental protection and functional performance. First, degradation must be controllable, allowing the turf to break down into harmless substances under natural or industrial composting conditions without leaving toxic residues. Second, performance compatibility is essential, ensuring that biodegradable components do not compromise strength, elasticity, or durability during the turf’s service life. Third, environmental compliance must be guaranteed, meaning both the materials and their degradation products meet international and domestic environmental standards. Many conventional eco-turf solutions struggle with either premature degradation or incomplete breakdown, whereas VivaTurf overcomes these challenges through precise material ratios and advanced engineering.
Core Biodegradable Raw Materials Used by VivaTurf
VivaTurf non infill grass integrates biodegradable technology across its key material systems, including grass fibers, backing structures, and bonding adhesives. Each component is engineered with clearly defined biodegradation performance and environmental indicators that exceed common industry practices.
The grass fibers adopt a composite structure that blends biodegradable polymers such as PBAT and PLA with high-performance polyethylene. Biodegradable components account for a significant proportion of the fiber formulation, allowing the fibers to achieve high elasticity, strong tensile strength, and excellent resilience during use. After disposal, these fibers can achieve high biodegradation efficiency under industrial composting conditions and gradually decompose in natural soil environments without releasing harmful substances. At the same time, the fibers maintain outstanding UV resistance and mechanical stability, ensuring a service life comparable to conventional synthetic turf.
The backing system employs a biodegradable composite structure that combines modified polypropylene, plant-based PLA, and reinforcement materials. This design provides high tensile and tear strength, excellent water resistance, and stable drainage performance during long-term use. Once decommissioned, the backing materials can biodegrade in a controlled manner, producing no toxic residues and maintaining compatibility with soil ecosystems. The use of renewable plant-based raw materials further reduces reliance on fossil resources.
Bonding adhesives and auxiliary materials are also designed with environmental responsibility in mind. VivaTurf uses bio-based polyurethane adhesives derived from renewable plant oils, which deliver strong bonding performance while significantly reducing volatile organic compound emissions. These adhesives can biodegrade efficiently after disposal, ensuring that the entire turf system, including joints and seams, aligns with sustainable principles. Supporting components such as edge profiles and sealants follow the same eco-friendly design logic, creating a truly comprehensive green material system.
