As sustainability and athletic performance become central to the future of sports and recreational infrastructure, VIVATURF has emerged as a true game-changer. Its non infill artificial grass not only addresses long-standing environmental concerns in the synthetic turf industry but also redefines surface performance for professional sports, community spaces, and school environments alike.
A New Era of Sustainability: Green from the Ground Up
VIVATURF's non infill system represents a bold departure from conventional turf design. By eliminating traditional infill materials such as rubber granules and silica sand, this system avoids the need for resource-intensive extraction, transportation, and disposal. The environmental impact is profound: compared to conventional infilled systems, carbon emissions are reduced by up to 45%. For a standard football pitch, this equates to eliminating 50 tons of rubber incineration and 250 tons of silica landfill waste.
At the heart of this green revolution is VIVATURF’s VRG recyclable system. Using a patented PO-RB homogeneous backing and Double S+ stabilization technology, the turf’s fibers and backing are made from compatible materials that enable 100% recyclability. Once the turf reaches end-of-life, it can be broken down and reprocessed into new products—supporting a closed-loop circular economy and eradicating landfill dependence.
Elite-Level Performance: Like Playing on Real Grass
Despite ditching infill, VIVATURF does not compromise on performance. In fact, its advanced turf construction is designed to replicate the natural playing experience with incredible precision.
The turf features a dense dual-fiber design—over 20,000 blades per square meter—crafted through a unique combination of straight and curled yarns. This results in natural ball movement, balanced resistance, and a soft, grippy surface that meets international standards for friction, shock absorption, and energy return. Ball roll and bounce rates closely match those of premium natural turf, offering players a surface they can trust.
VIVATURF also prioritizes athlete safety. With up to 75% rebound resilience, it cushions landings and reduces joint impact. When paired with its integrated shock pad layer, injury risks such as sprains and strains are reduced by as much as 30%—a critical advantage for sports like football, tennis, and rugby.
Hassle-Free Installation and Low Maintenance
Traditional infilled turf requires labor-intensive infill distribution during installation, often resulting in uneven surfaces and long construction timelines. VIVATURF’s non infill solution changes the game.
Because there's no infill to distribute, the system allows for up to 50% faster installation while maintaining superior surface flatness and consistency. The uniformity of play is preserved across every zone of the field—no more dead patches or uneven resistance.
From a maintenance perspective, the advantages are just as compelling. There’s no need for periodic infill top-ups or concerns about granule displacement, dust generation, or microplastic runoff. Routine upkeep involves simple debris removal and occasional rinsing, lowering maintenance costs by more than 80% over the turf’s lifespan.
Real-World Applications: Proven on the Global Stage
VIVATURF’s non infill artificial grass is already in play at elite venues across the globe, proving that sustainability and performance can go hand-in-hand.
In China, Zhengzhou Nankai Senior High School installed a VIVATURF football pitch that became the first non infill field in the world to pass the FIFA Basic certification under new global standards. The turf met FIFA’s stringent benchmarks for shock absorption, vertical deformation, ball roll, and more—testament to its engineering excellence.
In France, the prestigious Z5 Football Club, founded by Zinedine Zidane, chose VIVATURF for its training grounds. Feedback from the club highlighted the turf’s exceptional appearance, player comfort, and injury prevention capabilities.
Another landmark project is the softball field at the Hangzhou Asian Games Sports Culture Center, marking the first-ever use of non infill turf in an international multi-sport competition in China—demonstrating VIVATURF’s capability to meet the highest standards of global sporting events.
From stadiums to schoolyards, from rooftop gardens to urban parks, VIVATURF non infill artificial grass offers a scalable, high-performance, and environmentally responsible solution. For any facility seeking to modernize their field without compromising on safety, sustainability, or cost-efficiency, VIVATURF is leading the way toward a greener, smarter future.
