Germering - The renewal of the artificial turf field of the sports club Germering (SVG) has started.
On this occasion, Mayor Andreas Haas, the sports officer of the city council Christian Gruber as well as representatives of the SVG and the executing company met in Max-Reger-Straße for an on-site visit.
The renewal only takes a few days and costs
around 265,000 euros
, with the measure being subsidized by the city of Germering at around 70 percent.
As the client, SV Germering, together with the company Polytan GmbH, is breaking new ground in terms of climate neutrality and sustainability: On the one hand, there is no filling with rubber granules made from petroleum products and, on the other hand, the artificial turf fibers are made of
polyethylene
, which is made from
sugar cane waste
is won.
In terms of sustainability, the advantages of an artificial turf system are obvious: it does not need to be watered, fertilized or mowed.
In addition, the artificial turf can be played on all year round.
The old artificial turf pitch is currently being refurbished, properly separated into its components and sent for complete recycling.
New sports surfaces are made from the raw materials obtained in this way.
