The municipality of Amersfoort wants to get rid of artificial grass fields with rubber granules in the future. That is why alternative, sustainable fields are being looked at. A variant with sand filling was chosen, which seems promising. Before many more fields are replaced, the municipality wants to test it in practice.
Amsvorde was chosen for this. Their artificial grass field needed to be replaced after ten years. The association thought the pilot was a good idea. “We also want to look at new sustainable options.”
