Ecocept - Base layer

Ecocept is a seamlessly paved base layer made from recycled plastics, including artificial grass.

Paved in-situ, Ecocept provides numerous benefits for the construction and performance of an artificial grass pitch.

Bound, multi-functional construction element for artificial grass which provides improved sports performance values, enhanced player safety characteristics, unique player-surface and ball-surface interaction values, omni-directional water management, irrigation and cooling functionality, surface evenness, surface tolerances and civil engineering benefits.

Features and benefits:

• 100% recycled plastics.
• One full-size Ecocept pitch installation saves up to 190 tonnes of carbon emissions.
• Up to 300 tonnes of material are diverted from landfill for a new Ecocept field.
• End of life artificial grass can also be used in the Ecocept formula, making an old pitch par of a new pitch.
• It takes 40 end of life AGP’s to make one full size Ecocept layer.
• £30,000 = the potential waste to landfill cost that can be saved when Ecocept is used in a full-size install.
• Solution for contaminated, brownfield sites and sites with poor quality ground conditions.
• Ecocept meets sports governing body and international standards, including FIFA, World Rugby, RFL, FIH, GAA, ESTO, DIN and ISO.
• Optimum balance between safety for head impact criteria and energy restitution.
• Artificial grass systems that use Ecocept demonstrate enhanced and more.
• Consistent performance values over time.
• Equestrian surfaces.
• Modular (mobile) natural sports turf.
• Grass stabilizations, porous surfaces and green car parking.
• Permeable block paving.
• Highways: verges, embankments, buried swales, stabilization and de-watering.
• Drainage structures with high load bearing and load distribution properties.
• Simplified construction option/ combining several functions in one layer.
• Seamless paved surface.
• Long term consistency and performance characteristics.
• Long warranty from TenCate.
• Performance parameters to meet multiple governing body standards.
• Option to customize system for turf and infill variables.
• High environmental credentials (including end of life artificial turf recycling).
• Meet customers need for recycling, environmental targets.
• Patented systems by TenCate grass group.
• Control of granulates and binder supplied only by authorized partners.
• New water management options: pitch cooling, water collection and water recycling.
