At SYNLawn Sacramento, we are known for our unending efforts to offer some of the most eco-friendly and safe artificial grass in Sacramento, CA. Our synthetic turf is the result of more than 50 years of dedicated research and development. It is thanks to our dedication to innovating the artificial turf industry that we continue to lead the local synthetic turf market. Now, we have gone beyond our eco-friendly materials, and SYNLawn has become the first manufacturer to offer synthetic grass that is manufactured PFAS-free!
What Are PFAS?
PFAS, or per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, represent a category of synthetic compounds termed “forever chemicals.” Known for their extraordinary environmental persistence, these substances can endure for centuries due to their resistance to degradation. Consequently, they can pose significant health risks, contributing to various ailments such as liver and thyroid issues, developmental disorders, metabolic disruption, neurotoxicity, immunotoxicity, and more. Regrettably, these harmful chemicals are abundant in everyday household items, including but not limited to microwavable popcorn bags, nail polish, non-stick cookware, dental floss, toilet paper, and carpeting.
Environmentally friendly artificial turf products are something that SYNLawn and its parent business, SportGroup, are strongly committed to providing. As pioneers in creating sports surfaces that have achieved an ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) grade, we understand that it is our duty to advance environmentally friendly artificial grass. We also take great pride in providing high-quality, durable artificial turf that does not require traditional maintenance. This can only be accomplished by investing significant time, financial resources, and attention in our production process. We continue to monitor and protect the quality of our synthetic grass with vigilance since we understand the dangers of “forever chemicals.”
The Eco-Friendly Benefits of SYNLawn® Sacramento Synthetic Turf
Sacramento artificial turf from SYNLawn includes ecological advantages. Our synthetic turf eliminates the need for traditional lawn maintenance as well as the time and money it costs to keep it looking luxurious. No watering, mowing, or reseeding throughout the year. In doing so, we are happy to save our customers up to 50-70% on their water bills and help conserve thousands of gallons each year. Additionally, Our SYNLawn Sacramento faux turf prevents the need for gas-powered equipment, which is an effective way to reduce carbon emissions year-round.
What is SYNLawn Sacramento Artificial Turf Made Of?
SYNLawn Sacramento is proud to be the first and only provider of plant-based artificial grass in Sacramento, CA. We replace large portions of petroleum components in our manufacturing process with renewable soybeans and sugarcane. We are grateful to work closely with U.S. soy farmers at our in-house facility in Dalton, GA, where we can help ensure that our artificial turf meets environmental standards. Since 2008, we have cultivated our relationship, opened the door for new job opportunities, and become the first provider of USDA-certified turf options in our area.
In addition, many other manufacturers utilize rubber crumb infill to help keep their turf blades standing up. Unfortunately, rubber crumbs are another source of PFAS. SYNLawn Sacramento never uses rubber crumbs. Instead, we utilize eco-friendly Envirofill®. Envirofill® is an acrylic sand infill system that is a highly effective alternative that can also help control pet stains and odors caused by the ammonia in pet waste.
