Innovation
Our innovation: The RESET process!
PR Recycling is the first company worldwide to have a mobile recycling plant that makes it possible to recycle elastic layers and elastic base layers on site and make them immediately available for reuse.
This step alone already recycles 50% of all materials used for an artificial turf pitch in a resource-saving manner and reuses them for the same purpose on site. This eliminates the need for around 20 truck journeys of up to 10,000 km that would normally be required to remove old materials and deliver new ones.
With the reset process, we recycle on site. This sustainably lowers the impact on the environment, for example by reducing CO₂ emissions, and reduces the costs incurred for our customers.

Sustainability
By recycling artificial turf and tartan, we work every day to make the world a little better. In doing so, we are guided by the priorities according to the guidelines of the EU Waste Management Act. We focus on sustainable solutions that are economically interesting for our customers and have the least possible impact on the environment. Our goal is to minimize the disposal of sports surfaces and to promote the reuse and recycling of artificial turf systems and tartan surfaces, as well as their components.
