On the large market of outdoor sport pitches, there is often no alternative to synthetic turf due to the high intensity of use of these surfaces. However, synthetic turfs often are expensive, uncomfortable, and damaging for the environment. Airfibr offers an opportunity to replace artificial pitches with natural reinforced grass. AirFibr's technology is inspired by natural soil which is stabilised and softened by the densification of lateral roots. This concept is replicated in the Airfibr technology protected by two patents. This substrate is a very fine intermixing of cork granules, silica sand and synthetic microfibers coming from recycling activities. It has numerous properties which drastically improve the resistance of natural pitches to intensive use. Airfibr helps to provide an affordable, effective and sustainable solution for sports facilities.
