(Finance) – Since 2023, the European Union has issued gods New regulations for the construction of synthetic grass fields. What are these new regulations and what is being done to adapt the certification?

“The Lnd Impianti has implemented what the changes that the European Commission has imposed in terms of Realization of the synthetic grass fields That is to say, From 2031, it can no longer be marketed of the Polymeric performance carving material “. He said it Giacomo Pompili, head of Lnd Impianti systems, during MyPlant & Garden, the leading event of Florovivaismo, which takes place from 19 to 21 February in Milan.
This does not mean that to date, synthetic grass fields with polymer caring can not be achieved but that only and exclusively from 2031 it will not be more marketed for the performance carve. In this sense, lA Lnd Impianti is working on the new regulation that will be released in 2025 For the creation of an artificial grass field, such as lnd plants which is the srl and is the technical structure that deals precisely with the homologations of the synthetic grass fields and together with the Commission sports facilities in artificial grass we define what are the regulations for the Construction of the construction of the synthetic grass fields. In this sense, we are defining a whole series of changes, so that we can get to realize the field without any kind of nature of nature linked to sustainabilityin line with what are the obligations that the European Commission actually defined “.
Will there be changes in terms of costs to be addressed for sports clubs?
“At the cost level there will be no changes. Precisely for this reason we are studying packages, inserting, both in economic terms but also in the eye to sustainability, the possibility of using for the creation of inert vertical drainage backgrounds recycled instead as an alternative to the natural inert that has a cost lower than approximately A quarter compared to the creation of a background with natural inert. This will beat the cost of organization of the background, in the face of instead a higher cost tied to the use of a intake in vegetable nature instead of the polymer unwilling. So in the calculation of the general of an economic framework relating to the creation of an artificial field, the two things will be balanced and therefore there is no more cost “, continues Pompili.
The legislation has an eight -year circus transition time. After these eight years, can existing fields remain operational or must they be changed?
“They can remain operational. The European Commission has forbidden the marketing of the Polimeric nature unwarytherefore microplastics intentionally added from 2031. This means that all the fields that are built before 2031 with this technology will be able to continue to be used without any type of problem. The only care will be that for maintenance interventions We will have to have a supply of material In order to then make the maintenance for the whole useful life of the field until the disposal of the same “, concludes Pompili.
