It’s great to have you here!
LimeGreen® aims to recycle as much of our used ONE-DNA™ artificial grass as possible. This way, we avoid wasting raw materials and reduce CO2 emissions. And you can contribute to that.
Take-Back program
LimeGreen® ONE-DNA™ artificial turf.
LimeGreen®’s Take Back Program ensures that used artificial grass does not end up in landfill, but is actually recycled and can be used to produce new PE products. This program is only available for LimeGreen® ONE-DNA™ artificial grasses.

Please fill in your details and select the take-back option that best suits your needs. We will reach out to you to determine the drop-off or pick-up location.
Of course, we will not use your details for any other purpose.
Take-Back recycling program
Recycling is arranged in close cooperation with GBN. This means that cutting waste during installation and end-of-life grass are collected separately in bigbags by our service partners around the country. These bigbags are emptied into specially designated containers. These containers are taken to GBN, where they are processed separately from traditional artificial grass products. The recycled material is again made available to the market for new PE products and to TenCate Grass, so they can use it to make new artificial grass.

A partnership with the artificial grass recycling company GBN is set up to collect and recycle artificial grass in the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and France. This means that cut waste during installation and end of life grass is collected separately in big bags, at our service partners around the country. These bigbags are emptied into specially designated containers. When the containers are full, they are taken to GBN, where they are processed separately from traditional artificial grass. The recycled material is made available again for the production of new PE products and to TenCate Grass, in order to use it as a raw material for new artificial grass.
After your artificial grass is installed, your installer will register your LimeGreen® artificial grass. You will receive the Warranty & Take-Back certificate and information on how the Take-back system works in your mail. You can also identify our artificial grass by:
- the information on the back of the carpet
- and/or the warning signs underneath the grass
- Also, the ONE DNA™ recycle logo may be placed in the grass, in consultation with the customer.
Are you uncertain whether you have LimeGreen® ONE DNA™ artificial grass or not? Contact the company you bought the artificial grass from, or the company that installed it for you.
Disposing of artificial grass is costly. You pay about 250 to 300 euros per ton at the dump. It is quite expensive because artificial grass with sand weighs a lot. Because ONE-DNA™ artificial grass is perfect for recycling, we offer this service. After signing up, we will reach out to you to make arrangements. The cost will always be much lower than taking it to the landfill and will depend on your choice; hand in yourself, have it picked up or replaced.
And by using the take back program you ensure that the grass is actually recycled.
LimeGreen®s Take-Back program ensures that used LimeGreen® ONE DNA™ artificial turf does not end up in the landfill, but is actually recycled and can be used to produce new PE products.
As such, this service is exclusively for LimeGreen ONE DNA™ artificial turf.
Do you want to replace your old artificial grass lawn with ONE DNA™ artificial grass? We will take-back and dispose of the old artificial grass.
Yes! You can return LimeGreen® ONE-DNA™ artificial grass yourself, free of charge.
How does it work?
- Submit your artificial grass via the online submission form.
- Our team will contact you to make arrangements for where you can drop off the artificial grass.
- Use bigbags to collect the grass, you can buy these at your local building supply store.
- Return the bags to the service partner for free.
IMPRTANT: Only LimeGreen® ONE-DNA™ artificial grass can be collected in the BigBags, and no other materials except the infill sand. Please do not put tape, glue, or any other materials into the big bags, as we will not accept them.
- You should only put artificial grass in the big bags, and no other materials except the infill sand. So, not the tape and glue used to create seams or any other material.
- In case there is other waste in the bigbag, we cannot recycle the artificial grass as it must be sorted first. We will have to charge you for this.
- Products do not need to be hosed down, but must be free of any other material or excess soil.
