Act Global Installs Indoor Practice Field at Round Rock High School

Act Global Installs Indoor Practice Field at Round Rock High School

by

Round Rock, TX—The Round Rock Dragons football team upgrades their practice field to artificial grass.

The Xtreme Turf installed at Round Rock High School is Act Global’s DXT system. The DXT incorporates a layer of thatch fibers to help lock infill in place, and monofilament fibers which add shock absorbency. We recommend a DXT for indoor facilities because of its low maintenance paired with performance benefits.

Indoor facilities are prominent in states like Texas because they eliminate weather interference such as rainstorms, high heat, and humidity. 

Round Rock High School is located about 9 miles north of our corporate office, making this project extra special to the Act Global family.

Act Global Wins Synthetic Turf Council’s 2020 Sustainability Award

by

The STC announced this Monday that Act Global is the recipient of the Sustainability Award, which recognizes an STC member organization that consistently, and through innovation, utilizes sustainable materials and processes. 

The STC acknowledged our commitment to reducing the use of virgin plastics and finding innovative ways to recycle plastics found in our oceans and shorelines.

Working with supply partners, Act Global engineered an innovative way to take salvaged ocean plastic and synthesize it into a TPE infill. A full-size multipurpose field was co-donated by Act Global and adidas to Miami Edison High School of Miami, Florida. Our local partner, Burke Construction completed the installation in late January of 2020. 

As the first district field in the area, it will have a lasting impact on the community. Students set foot on the field for a 7 on 7 match during Super Bowl LIV Weekend, showing off their new surface made from recycled ocean plastic. 

At Act Global, we are committed to preserving and protecting our planet. We continually invest in maintaining environmentally sound products and business practices. We work with leading research and chemical firms to develop eco-friendly products such as infills, recyclable coatings, and other green innovations.
