ALL I HAVE SEEN IS SYNTHETIC FIELDS WITH LOW DENSITY FIBER FILLED WITH SAND AND CRUMB RUBBER TO FILL IN ALL THE VOIDS. THE LAST I REMEMBER IS THAT SAND AND CRUMB RUBBER WERE NOT ECO-FRIENDLY BUT THE MARKETING PLOY THAT ALL THOSE SYNTHETIC TURF COMPANIES BULLSHIT THE CONSUMER TO GET A CHECK. HOW MANY COMPANIES ACTUALLY PROVIDE A TRULY 100% RECYCLABLE PRODUCT? URETHANE BACKING IS NOT RECYCLABLE, POLYETHYLENE IS BUT A LOT OF COMPANIES USE POLYETHYLENE STRAIGHT FIBER WITH A NYLON THATCH AND THE LAST I REMEMBER NYLON WAS NOT RECYCLABLE. CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG BUT WHEN I SEE ECO-FRIENDLY WITH GARBAGE PRODUCTS AND NOW GREEN RUBBER INFILL CALLED ECO-FILL THAT IS A BUNCH OF BULLSHIT. THERE IS ACTUALLY ONE COMPANY OUT THERE THAT PROMOTES FLEX SAND AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW YOU CAN TAKE SILICA SAND AND PUT RUBBER AROUND IT? THE RUBBER IS NOT RECYCLABLE AND THE SILICA SAND HAS TOXICS THAT RELEASE INTO THE AIR AS WE HAVE ALL HEARD ABOUT SILICA DUST. SO THEREFORE AGAIN JUST ANOTHER UN-PROVEN PRODUCT BEING MARKETED TO THE CONSUMER AS A GREAT ALTERNATIVE. NOT A CHANCE JUST MORE OF THE SAME. WHO EVER SAID THAT THE 2 1/2" 32 OUNCE SLIT FILM FIBER FILLED WITH SAND AND GROUND UP TIRES IS A PROVEN SYSTEM? NO ONE IT IS JUST ACCEPTED.
