With Recycle, Sabbie di Parma provides a unique service, the collection and recycling of synthetic turf that is to be discarded.

In the sports facility sector, the lifespan of synthetic turf is limited, and, at the end of their life cycle, the problem of their disposal represents a significant challenge.

In quantitative terms, since 2001, the LND has approved 160 synthetic turf fields per year. If we consider that five-a-side and eight-a-side football pitches are excluded from this amount, we can realize how the spread of synthetic pitches represents a phenomenon that needs to be paid attention to with a view to their disposal and recycling at the end of their natural life cycle.

In fact, the recycling of synthetic turf, now more than ever, is a sustainable solution that responds to growing environmental concerns and increasingly stringent waste disposal regulations.

According to the specialist company Tires, a regulation pitch contains approximately 32 tonnes of real turf, 80 tonnes of silica sand, and between 80 and 120 tonnes of rubber. The decommissioning of an artificial turf pitch therefore involves the production of materials such as sand, rubber and plastic. This waste must be recovered or disposed of correctly using the specific EWC codes.

For this reason, synthetic turf sports fields, at the end of their life cycle, must be considered to all intents and purposes as special waste, and, as such, their removal and management must strictly comply with the regulations in force. In particular, reference must be made to the provisions of Legislative Decree 152/2006, to avoid sanctions or legal consequences.

Relying on a company authorized to dismantle and recycle synthetic turf is the ideal solution to simplify all these procedures.

Recycle: an all-round service for dismantling, recycling and reconstruction of synthetic turfs

Sabbie di Parma, thanks to specific equipment for dismantling and cutting synthetic turf, with Recycle offers an authorized service for the recovery of these materials, carried out in full compliance with the regulations in force, with reference to Legislative Decree 152/2006 and Ministerial Decree of 5 February 1998.

This Recycle service by Sabbie di Parma proposed by the company allows the separation of the residual rubber and sand infill, transforming them into new materials useful in particular for the construction industry, such as acoustic insulation. The old covering and infill are transformed into rolls that conform to the processing plants, thus avoiding disposal in landfills.

This approach enables a true closed loop, reducing waste and contributing to the protection of natural resources. Thanks to an innovative industrial system, Sabbie di Parma is able to guarantee complete traceability of the disposal and subsequent recycling process, ensuring that each field is recovered in the most efficient way possible, promoting a circular economy that reduces environmental impact and enables a more responsible use of resources.

Choosing to comply with regulations and relying on a qualified service means not only avoiding problems, but also actively contributing to the protection of the environment.
