Sustainability FAQ
Artificial turf offers several environmental benefits, including water conservation, reduced use of pesticides and fertilizers, and lower emissions from lawn maintenance equipment.
Artificial turf does not require irrigation, which can save millions of gallons of water annually for a single field or large installation. This is particularly beneficial in drought-prone regions or areas with strict water usage regulations.
Modern artificial turf systems are typically made from polyethylene or polypropylene yarns with a backing layer and infill. Many of these materials are recyclable, and some systems are designed for full circularity. Ask your turf provider about take-back or recycling programs and turf solutions that contain recycled content.
While there is an initial carbon cost associated with manufacturing and installation, turf does not require mowing, fertilizing or watering – reducing long-term environmental impact.
Yes. While artificial turf doesn’t directly earn LEED points, it can contribute to LEED credits through water conservation, reduced heat island effect (when using cooling tech), and use of recycled or regional materials. Pairing turf with permeable base systems can also support stormwater management goals.
Shaw does not use PFAS based materials to produce its artificial turf products. Shaw restricts its turf suppliers from using any intentionally added PFAS chemicals in the materials we purchase and performs testing to confirm their absence.
