Real Record of Avoiding Pitfalls in Artificial Turf: These "Absurd Practices" Even Stunned Testing Institutions!

I. Annual Award for Puzzling Behaviors: Testers Shake Their Heads at the Sight

Testers from the Beijing Inspection and Testing Institute (BJITI) have probably witnessed the most outrageous "turf disasters" — some property owners used steel wool to clean stains, grinding PE grass filaments into "green fluff" and directly failing the abrasion resistance performance test; even more DIY installers laid the grass filaments upside down, leading to a sharp drop in tuft pull-out force, resulting in "balding turf" where tufts fall out with a single step. Don’t believe the "zero maintenance" myth! According to BJITI’s Artificial Turf Testing Report, brushing the grass monthly and refilling infill quarterly can extend the turf’s service life by 3 years, and its maintenance cost is 80% lower than that of natural grass.

II. On-Site of Technological Counterattack: Domestic Turf Has Long Become an "All-Round Player"

Don’t underestimate artificial turf anymore — now even top-tier clubs are competing to use it:

• Black Technology in Sports: The training ground turf customized by CGT Greentown Sports for the Premier League’s Tottenham Hotspur Club has passed the FIFA Quality Pro certification. Its ball speed error is less than 3%, and the abrasion resistance of its diamond-shaped cross-section grass filaments is 40% higher than that of ordinary products. The company’s independently developed 100% recyclable hot-melt turf requires no chemical adhesives and has obtained the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certification. It reduces carbon emissions by 30% during production, and old turf can be directly melted and recycled.

• New Benchmark in Environmental Protection: Full polyolefin recyclable turf boasts excellent UV resistance, with a fading rate of less than 5% after 5,000 hours of outdoor exposure. In 2024, such products accounted for 45% of the global recyclable turf market.

• Cost-Effectiveness Champion: According to the 2025-2031 Global and China Artificial Turf Industry Research and 14th Five-Year Plan Analysis Report released by QYResearch in July 2025, high-quality artificial turf has an average service life of up to 8 years, and its long-term cost is 50% lower than that of natural grass. In 2024, the global revenue of environmentally friendly turf reached 863 million US dollars.

III. Rumor Crusher: 5 Lies Refuted by Authoritative Data

1. "Carcinogenic? Testing data says no!" The new National Standard GB/T 20394-2023 clearly stipulates that the heavy metal content of artificial turf shall be ≤ 1ppm and the phthalate content ≤ 0.1%. Products of enterprises such as CGT Greentown Sports have all passed SGS environmental testing, and no health-related cases have been reported in 40 years.

2. "Can fry eggs in summer? Technology has long solved this!" CGT Greentown Sports’ heat-reflective turf adopts special fiber weaving technology, which can reduce the surface temperature by 20%. After 1 hour of water spraying, the temperature drops by 8℃ immediately. Actual measurements show it feels cooler than natural grass.

3. "Not environmentally friendly? Recycling data speaks for itself!" In 2024, the global recyclable turf market scale reached 3.24 billion yuan. Chinese enterprises lead in recycling technology — Jiangsu Hongmao recycles 200,000 square meters of old turf annually, directly reducing carbon by 150 tons.

4. "Easy to install, suitable for DIY?" BJITI clearly requires that the paving slope must reach 3%, the joint error ≤ 3mm, and the drainage rate not less than 160mm/h; otherwise, water accumulation is prone to form after heavy rain. The pass rate of professional construction is 92% higher than that of DIY.

5. "Domestic products are inferior to imported ones? Certifications refute this!" Products of enterprises such as Jiangsu Gongchuang and CGT Greentown Sports have obtained multiple international certifications including FIFA, FIH, and GRS. Among them, CGT Greentown Sports became the exclusive supplier of Tottenham Hotspur Club at the end of 2024, with its products exported to more than 120 countries. China accounts for 40% of the global artificial turf market, ranking first in the world.

IV. Solid Strength of "Chinese Turf": From Passing Tests to Leading the World

Today’s domestic artificial turf can be called an "all-round powerhouse": BJITI’s testing shows that the tensile strength of domestic PE grass filaments reaches 15MPa, 25% higher than the international standard; the recyclable turf technology of CGT Greentown Sports is endorsed by FIFA legendary player Davor Šuker and has become standard equipment for professional events. According to QYResearch’s prediction, the scale of China’s recyclable turf market will reach 3.04 billion yuan by 2031, with an annual growth rate of 17%, leading the world. This wave of "Chinese Turf" definitely deserves a showcase!
