We are excited to share the news that we are well advanced in developing a thorough Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for all of our ONE-DNA™️ products. A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) provides a detailed overview of the environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle, from the extraction of raw materials, through production, use and disposal. This helps decision-makers choose products that are better for the environment.

To make an even bigger impact, we dive deep into two key stages.

• Stage 1: Here we focus on the entire product composition of ONE-DNA™️ artificial grass. This involves a detailed analysis of every aspect of the product, from raw materials to production. Using the LCA method and ONE-DNA™️’s unique Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), we are taking a leading role in the artificial grass industry. The EPD acts as a detailed passport to our products, revealing the true environmental impact with precise figures. This exclusive insight gives you an edge in the marketplace, because you know exactly what the carbon footprint of each artificial turf product is.
• Stage 2: This is where we go beyond the product itself. We also map the installation and recycling of our turf, country by country. This means that we look not only at the sustainability of our product, but also at its impact during installation and how it can be recycled at the end of its life cycle. We aim to have a complete picture of the environmental impact at all stages of our product, from the moment it is created to the end of its life.

With this comprehensive approach, we aim not only to provide transparency on the environmental impact of our products, but also to contribute to a more sustainable future. Take a step forward with ONE-DNA™️ mono-material artificial grass and lead the way in sustainable innovation. Stay tuned for more updates on our efforts to make artificial turf a greener choice! 🌱🌍

WHAT DOES AN LCA OR EPD OFFER?

• Transparency: It provides full transparency on the environmental impact of our products. Customers receive detailed information about the environmental footprint of our artificial turf, enabling them to make informed decisions.
• Environmental awareness: It enables customers to be more aware of the environmental impact of the products they buy. This is particularly important at a time when sustainability is a key consideration in the purchasing process.
• Sustainability certification: An LCA and EPD provide the basis for obtaining sustainability certifications and labels. This opens doors to markets and customers who value sustainability.
• Comparison with alternatives: Customers can now accurately compare our artificial turf with alternatives based on facts and environmental performance. This enables them to make the most environmentally responsible choice.
• Trust and reputation: Our commitment to independently evaluating our products and publishing the results builds customer confidence in our brand and products. This can enhance our reputation in the marketplace.
• Planning: LCA helps identify areas where improvements in the production process or use of materials can lead to a lower environmental impact. This is essential for long-term planning and sustainability initiatives.
• Long-term cost savings: Products with better environmental performance can save money in the long run, especially if they result in lower energy consumption or less waste.
  Legal and regulatory compliance: It can also help meet any legal requirements for environmental information and reporting.

In short, an LCA and EPD demonstrates our commitment to sustainability, provides valuable information to customers and strengthens our competitive advantage in a marketplace that increasingly values environmentally friendly products.
