Captures and retains microplastics from artificial sports pitches.
Drainage systems for artificial turf pitches must provide reliable drainage and infiltration. The infill material and broken-off blades of grass (= microplastics) must be collected before the water is channelled into the sewer system. The SPORTFIX CLEAN filter system is the effective solution for retaining microplastics and infill material on artificial turf pitches. The Carbotec filter substrate reliably filters out particles as small as 0.45 µm (0.00045 mm). The filter substrate consists of natural, inorganic components and reliably treats rainwater from artificial turf pitches.
Rubber granules or synthetic grass fibres can get caught on athletes’ shoes or clothing. The SPORTFIX CLEAN particle trap element was specially developed to be installed at the players’ exit to collect microplastic deposits when players leave the field.
HAURATON was awarded the Environmental Technology Award in 2019 for the SPORTFIX CLEAN filter channel in the Emission Reduction, Treatment and Separation category.
Managing Director of HAURATON Marcus Reuter states “As a specialist in drainage systems, it is important to us to contribute to a clean environment and to be committed to research and development. The award makes us extremely happy and spurs us on to pursue further ideas for new environmental technologies”.
