As summer months draw nearer, so too do the threat of annual water shortages and droughts and water restrictions. With temperatures rising it is important to be even more cognizant of your individual water usage.
The use of artificial grass helps save an estimated 3-6 million gallons of water each year. Each square foot of natural grass replaced with synthetic turf is estimated to save 55 gallons of water each year (2,200 liters saved per square meter). By minimizing the amount of water necessary to maintain athletic fields, home lawns, and commercial/municipal spaces, synthetic turf helps maximize land and resource usage. This becomes more and more important as the global supply of healthy and affordable water continues to diminish.
Act Global is committed to the preservation and protection of the planet through encouraging smart solutions to water utilization. In addition to offering a zero-water solution for natural grass, Act Global’s artificial grass is highly UV protected so that the fibers can withstand even the hottest climates. Act Global offers an array of turf systems that are environmentally-friendly, non-toxic, and can endure many years of use and play.

Act Global was founded with a mission to be more than just a synthetic turf manufacturer. With the pillars to be more, innovate more, and play more, Act Global is committed to creating the safest artificial grass systems available to protect athletes of all levels from injuries. In every facet of Act Global’s business culture, it has sought to address and service the needs of players with product. The exceptional quality of Act Global turf is a direct result of continuous investments into research and development, alongside benchmark and performance testing.
One area Act Global continues to research is the interaction between player’s footwear and a ground’s surface. Due to differentiation in footwear from sport to sport, changes in vertical deformation, traction, deceleration, and slip resistance within a surface may yield significant differences in safety and performance. Optimizing these factors to engineer balanced synthetic turf systems can reduce some of the most common injuries athletes face on the field. Artificial grass features numerous characteristics that enhance the system overall such as infill particle size, level of compaction, and fiber type, and the most common movements of sports can vary from straight running to slalom, cutting and turning maneuvers, and landing after jumps. These are important factors that directly affect how each Act Global turf system is designed. Act Global aims to use research to make artificial grass act as a piece of protective sports equipment by maximizing the interaction between shoes and surfaces.
