Ecovia Turf has successfully introduced ONE-DNA™ artificial grass to the Australian market, completing a growing number of projects across the Brisbane region. Led by Stephen Frappell, the company continues to focus on high-quality installations while exploring new approaches to material transparency and product lifecycle management.
Building local momentum
As a ONE-DNA™ Changemaker, Ecovia Turf has embraced a different approach to artificial grass by working with products based on a mono-material polyethylene design. This approach aligns with a growing market interest in material composition, traceability and documented product information.
The increasing number of completed installations demonstrates that customers are looking beyond appearance and performance alone and are paying greater attention to the products they specify and install.
Working with local partners
An important part of Ecovia Turf’s approach is collaboration with local processing and recycling partners. Together, they are exploring how material streams can be handled locally and how existing plastic processing infrastructure can support future material pathways.
These collaborations provide valuable practical insights into how material composition influences processing possibilities and help strengthen knowledge across the wider industry.
Expanding the ONE-DNA™ network
The introduction of ONE-DNA™ in Australia represents another step in the growth of the international Changemaker network. Through collaboration between installers, suppliers and processing partners, new opportunities are being explored while maintaining a strong focus on product quality and professional installation.
Looking ahead
Stephen Frappell and the Ecovia Turf team continue to play an important role in introducing ONE-DNA™ to the Australian market. Their work demonstrates how innovation, collaboration and practical experience can help drive the next generation of artificial grass projects.
Update, October 2026: this article reflects the ONE-DNA™ range at the time of publication, based on polyethylene (PE). ONE-DNA™ now also includes a 100% PO route; see Technology for the current material routes.
