Pitch2Panel
Inimpact’smost recent project, Pitch2Panel, impact teamed up with leading UK synthetic turf provider Sportex as well as the Polymer Processing Research Centre of Queen’s University Belfast. They faced the challenging task to convert waste synthetic-turf into panelling to be used in pitch side back and kick boards.
impact solutions’srole was to help Identify and develop the separation technic within Sportex’s recycling process as well as the method for processing the recycled material from plastic separation to extrusion.impactthen carried out a full suite of testing on the recycled materials to ensure it met end-user requirements.
Different generations of turf and the first P2P panel from trial
Through their comprehensive testing, the team managed to effectively develop panels from recyclate material to better performance properties than current SOA. This has enabled Sportex to provide a full circular lifecycle solution for plastic synthetic pitches, minimising its overall environmental impact. By adopting a collaborative approach to the challenge, the team have been able to see Pitch2Panel through from idea to the point of commercialisation, and in doing so exceeded the expectation on the final performance of the material.
