act global

Act Global continually invests in developing environmentally friendly products and maintains sustainable business practices which helps to protect communities and the environment. Our woven and hybrid systems are completely designed using recyclable components, our non-infilled and sand dressed systems use absolutely no microplastics and our alternative and organic infills are recyclable/compostable at the end of life. Working with supply partners, Act Global engineered an innovative way to take salvaged ocean plastic and synthesize it into a performance infill. Act Global also participates in Operation Clean Sweep at our manufacturing facility in Calhoun, GA. This initiative helps Act Global implement good housekeeping and pellet, flake, and powder practices to work towards achieving zero pellet, flake, and powder loss, protecting the environment, and saving valuable resources.

Act Global partnered with Elite Turf to deliver two sustainable fields at Ranney School in Tinton Falls, NJ recently. The “Power System” encompasses a woven turf which is 100% recyclable at end of life. It’s built on the ProPlay shock pad made from post-consumer recycled products and utilizes Act Global’s recycled ocean plastic infill. This infill can aid in removing over 1 million bottles from the ocean per field.

Act Global’s woven and hybrid fields are consistently being installed around the world, especially in Europe where governments are tightening restrictions on microplastics and crumb rubber infills. Recent sustainable woven systems projects include The Robert César training facility in Paris, France, KS Cracovia training pitch in Kraków, Poland, and St Mirren F.C. Training Facility, in Scotland.
