Mounting fears over microplastic pollution from artificial turf pitches has prompted launch of specialist kit to remove the particulates.
Featuring different sieve options to suit various infill types and a self-cleaning filter system, the GKB Deep-Clean – developed in collaboration with SMG Sportplatzmaschinenbau – sieves, separates and collects microplastics with precision.
Recent research from the University of Barcelona has raised alarm after finding that up to 15% of the microplastics found in open water originate from artificial turf pitches. These particles, released via fibre wear and tear or from infill materials such as rubber and TBE, accumulate within the surface and eventually contaminate the environment via footfall, rainfall or maintenance activities.
