Artificial turf manufacturers believe that the main advantage of artificial turf is the addition of each site's use of time, reducing lawn maintenance difficult. But there are also many advantages of natural grass, and that the main cause of poor growth lies lawn lawn maintenance method unscientific. Currently, artificial turf manufacturers try to make people believe that natural grass has become history, but there are still a lot of people suspect that the large number of plastic and rubber products put on the environment, whether it is worth promoting.
People seem to forget the impact of artificial turf to replace natural grass on the environment. An artificial turf football field requires at least 11 tons of plastic and 80 tons of rubber! People also do not realize that the grass is oxygen producers and carbon dioxide fixation in soil, lawns can be fixed per hectare from 6.5 to 8.5 tons of carbon dioxide, which has an important role to curb global warming. Production of artificial turf requires a lot of energy, will lead to increased levels of carbon dioxide in the air. Many people think that you can use recycled rubber tires production, whether this material will release to the environment of toxic gases or fatal injuries elements are also unknown.
Artificial turf also provides a "hybrid lawn", from 3% synthetic material mixed with the natural grass. Even accounting for only 3% of artificial materials, the laying of a site would need about 43,000 km of man-made fibers. While this mix is very close to the venue and the natural turf, but because of the strength of the surface of trampling, problems occur after using 16-24 months. Playing on artificial turf, the ball's speed will be significantly accelerated, athletes had to use a new way to play. In addition, whether the audience will like the new style of play is not known. No mud and grass on a "clean" venues to play, a large part of the fun of playing will disappear.
