Turf & carpet recovery.
Beneath the surface.

Artificial turf and carpet are layered products. Their fibers, backing and other ingredients are designed to perform together. At replacement, that construction becomes a separation challenge—and an opportunity to look for more value within the material.

A DIFFERENT QUESTION. A NEW POSSIBILITY.

What if replacing a field or floor did not end the useful life of the materials beneath your feet?

01 / THE CHALLENGE

A replacement cycle should start a recovery conversation.

A removed turf field may include synthetic fibers, backing, sand and resilient infill. Carpet can combine face fibers, backing, adhesives and fillers. Composition varies by product and installation history.

The practical challenge is to identify those materials, manage contamination and find a route that produces fractions with a useful destination. Mixing dissimilar products without characterization can make that harder.

02 / THE LIBERATION OPPORTUNITY

Reveal what is beneath the finished surface.

JENROVA evaluates artificial turf and carpet using dry material liberation, with no added process chemicals and no hammer mills in the liberation stage. Product construction and incoming condition determine the proposed preparation and separation route.

Testing explores fiber-rich, backing-rich and infill-containing fractions where present. It establishes composition and contamination rather than assuming that every synthetic fiber becomes a clean single-polymer feedstock.

Material fractions to evaluate

Synthetic fiber-rich fractions
Backing and polymer-rich fractions
Infill and mineral fractions, where present

Illustrative targets. Actual fractions and recovery depend on the feedstock and demonstrated processing route.

03 / THE NEXT CHAPTER

Recovery becomes meaningful
when material has a next use.

Recovered fractions may be evaluated for polymer, composite or other qualified industrial applications. The next use depends on resin identification, additives, cleanliness and customer requirements. End-of-life handling and acceptance are agreed for each stream.

Who we work with

Sports facility owners, turf installers, flooring contractors, manufacturers and material recovery partners.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

Good questions.
Clear answers.

Can turf arrive with infill still present?

The preparation route must be agreed first. Infill type, loading, contamination and the proposed processing configuration affect the assessment.

Can all carpets be recycled together?

Do not assume so. Face fiber, backing and adhesives vary. Product information and samples help determine whether streams should be kept separate.

THE NEXT CHAPTER STARTS WITH A CONVERSATION

What is in your
material stream?

Share the product type, construction or manufacturer data if available, age, infill or backing details, contamination, quantity, location and removal schedule.
