In 2008, Polytan achieved a milestone in synthetic turf history with the invention of the first textured synthetic turf made entirely of 100% polyethylene with a thickness of 200 µm. Low maintenance, durable, and multifunctional – the perfect synthetic turf for municipal, school, and club sports facilities. LigaGrass made its breakthrough with the German Football Association’s campaign “1,000 Mini Pitches for Germany.” Polytan was a project partner and general contractor for the construction of the mini playing fields, known as PolyPlay Arenas, which are still widely used today. The mini playing fields primarily use the textured LigaGrass synthetic turf system. LigaGrass yarn is now partially made from recycled material.
Polytan and Green Technology go hand in hand. Our eco-friendly label represents all our sustainable activities and products that embody this ethos have the abbreviation GT in their name. At Polytan, we take many approaches on our quest for a greener planet. Initially, for example, we focused on products made from plastics with a high proportion of renewable raw materials, but are increasingly shifting to the use of recyclates as they gain prominence.

We offer systems filled with quartz sand; sand and elastic infill granules; or sand and cork/ other natural materials. The infill ensures an authentic playing experience, grip and traction for quick tempo and directional changes, clean ball-rolling behaviour, and high player protection.
