Tomorrowland, one of the world’s best-known music festivals, continually explores new approaches to material management across its event operations. As part of this effort, the festival worked with Proxy Fields and ONE-DNA\u2122 to introduce ONE-DNA\u2122 artificial grass for selected areas of the festival grounds.<\/p>\n

A new approach to artificial grass<\/h4>\n

Artificial grass is used throughout the Tomorrowland site to create functional and visually appealing spaces for visitors. In 2023, Tomorrowland launched a pilot project using ONE-DNA\u2122 artificial grass, a product made in 100% PE (one polymer).<\/p>\n

The project allowed the festival and its partners to evaluate both product performance during the event and potential material processing options after use.<\/p>\n

Collaboration across the supply chain<\/h4>\n

The pilot was realized through cooperation between Tomorrowland, Proxy Fields, ONE-DNA\u2122, GBN AGR and TenCate. Following the event, the installed ONE-DNA\u2122 artificial grass was collected separately from conventional artificial grass materials. This enabled the partners to investigate dedicated processing routes for the recovered material.<\/p>\n

Material processing after use<\/h4>\n

After collection, the material was processed by GBN AGR into PE agglomerate. This processed material was subsequently supplied to TenCate for evaluation and use in new polyethylene-based applications.<\/p>\n

The project provided valuable practical experience regarding collection, sorting and processing procedures for 100% PE (one polymer) artificial grass after use.<\/p>\n

Learning through collaboration<\/h4>\n

The Tomorrowland pilot demonstrates how cooperation between event organizers, installers, processors and manufacturers can help explore new approaches to material management.<\/p>\n

By bringing together expertise from across the value chain, the project created an opportunity to test collection and processing systems under real-world conditions and gather insights for future developments.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead<\/h4>\n

The collaboration between Tomorrowland, Proxy Fields, ONE-DNA\u2122, GBN AGR and TenCate highlights the importance of practical pilots in understanding how materials can be managed after use.<\/p>\n

Projects such as this contribute valuable experience and help inform future decisions regarding product design, collection systems and material processing within the artificial grass sector.<\/p>\n
