artificial grass for recycling?
Every action you take to return ONE-DNA™ artificial grass is a step towards a healthier planet. Imagine the impact: by taking back ONE-DNA™ artificial grass, we not only avoid wasting precious resources, but also reduce CO₂ emissions. This is your chance to make a real difference. With the Take-Back Program, we ensure that your used artificial grass does not end up in a landfill, but is given a new life in the form of new PE products. Your contribution is vital. Be the change you want to see in the world and help us create a greener future. You make the difference!
How it works?
To be able to recycle artificial grass in the future, we must now ensure a product that is suitable for high-quality recycling. This has been achieved with ONE-DNA™ artificial turf. In close collaboration with our Changemakers in various we are in discussions with local recycling companies to close the loop. As a customer, you have two options to arrange this take-back:
You will have your old ONE-DNA™ artificial grass replaced with new ONE-DNA™ artificial grass. Then our installation partner will take away the old ONE-DNA™ grass free of charge and take care of recycling with us! You don’t have to do anything for this.
Are you looking for a party that can install ONE-DNA™ artificial grass for you? Then contact us. We will put you in touch with a specialized installation team.
You take care of removing the old ONE-DNA™ artificial grass yourself and bring it in big bags to one of our Changemakers. Do you choose this option? Then first contact our Changemaker where you want to bring the artificial grass.
Why should you do this? Disposing of artificial grass is an expensive business. You pay high dumping fees at the local dump. That can add up nicely. Besides, you don’t want this circular product to end up in a landfill. So hand in your ONE-DNA™ artificial grass for FREE to one of our Changemakers!
Do you choose one of these two take-back options? Then we will ensure that the old ONE-DNA™ synthetic turf is recycled. The recycled material will be made available again to the market for new high-quality PE products and as a raw material for new artificial grass.

IMPORTANT: Only LimeGreen ONE-DNA™ artificial turf should be collected in the big bags, and no other materials except for the infill sand (and as little as possible, which is also more convenient for transportation). This includes not including the tape and adhesive used for seams. Otherwise, we cannot accept the big bags!
- Put only ONE-DNA artificial grass in the bigbags, so no other materials except the infill sand. So also not the tape and glue used to make seams or other materials.
- If there is other waste in bigbag, we cannot have the artificial grass recycled and it has to be sorted first. And cannot accept these bigbags OR These costs will be passed on.
- Products do not need to be hosed down, but must be free of other material and excess soil.
Try to get out as much infill sand out of the mat as possible to reduce weight during transport.
