Regardless of the industry, most consumers only want the best product for their dollar. It can be hard to distinguish between which brands provide quality and those who don’t. To combat this, Act Global gets an annual certification of ISO 9001 to help make this easier for buyers.
So, what exactly is an ISO 9001 certification and how does it help consumers in the buying process?
According to the ASQ website, ISO 9001 is firstly defined as the international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS). The standard demonstrates the ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements. It is the only standard in the series to which organizations can become certified in.
For organizations, achieving ISO 9001:2015 certification means the organization follows the guidelines of the ISO 9001 standard, fulfills its own requirements, meets customer requirements and statutory and regulatory requirements, and maintains documentation.
Act Global has manufacturing plants in three different countries and has delivered fields to over 90 countries across the world. For every product division, we stand by our quality and follow strict international standards and performance metrics set by governing agencies of sports, landscape, aviation, and land capping. An ISO 9001 certification allows buyers to trust our product lines and know that every product we put out is made with only the highest quality.

It’s not anything new that children love to play. There’s something about getting to run around outside or playing a sport with friends that builds character. While it may be true as children get older their energy begins to slow, it’s safe to say their passion for competing will never go away.
Act Global thrives on providing new ways for children to go outside and be active. Studies show that children who play more outdoors are physically healthier, have better motor skills due to repetitive practice, and have stronger bones and muscles. Our synthetic turf fields help kids play for more hours of the day during any kind of weather or climate at any point of the year.

It’s officially the first day of summer 2017 and our headquarters office in Austin, Texas is already facing temperatures in the triple digits! With the sun shining bright and the heat dialing up, it’s more important than ever to be cognitive of your water usage at home.
According to two studies conducted by the American Water Works Association released in 1999 and 2011, water use by single-family residential homes are on the rise- outdoor use especially. In the study released in 1999, an average annual 84,000 gallons per household were used for outdoor purposes. In 2011, it rose to 90,300 gallons. This is over a 7% increase, even after the introduction of high efficiency homes in 2001. Water use for outdoor applications is significantly higher in the summer months then the rest of the year, averaging 729 gallons per day, per household. This is equal to showering for 347 minutes. Of this number, 80%-90% of outdoor water use is dedicated to lawns, gardens, and plants (Hermitte & Mace, 2012).
At Act Global, we worked to engineer a solution to engineer a solution to this excessive water usage. We believe in the cultivation of a smarter, greener planet-starting at the home. Our Turfscape line is a high quality, natural-looking artificial grass that is both durable in all weather conditions and versatile in all applications. Each square foot of regular grass that is replaced with Turfscape saves 55 gallons of water per year- all without the hassle of seasonal maintenance.
So enjoy your summer while helping to make a positive impact on this planet!
