To address increasingly stringent global regulations on microplastic emissions, several materials and grass fiber companies have jointly launched an infill-free/organic infill alternative artificial turf solution, and are conducting large-scale pilot projects in schools, kindergartens, and community sports fields.

This technology optimizes the cross-sectional shape of the grass fibers, increases tuft density, and combines it with a high-elasticity foam base layer (EVA/PU cushioning layer) to achieve excellent cushioning and shock absorption performance without relying on rubber particles, significantly reducing the risk of skin abrasion injuries.

Results from the first pilot projects show:

· Surface temperature reduced by 5–12°C (compared to traditional infill systems);

· Abrasion resistance improved by 15%–25%;

· Drainage efficiency after rain remains within international standards.

Industry experts predict that this approach is likely to become the mainstream solution for school playgrounds and children's activity areas in the next 3–5 years.
