Brisbane based Ecovia Turf offers supply and install of a range of fully sustainable, eco-friendly synthetic turf with a strong focus on quality and durability
How Ecovia Turf Supports a Circular Economy through Turf Recycling
At Ecovia Turf, we’re committed to sustainability at every stage of our product lifecycle, and that includes ensuring our artificial turf doesn’t end up in landfills. With our current recycling partnerships, we fully recycle our turf back into its original raw materials, contributing to a greener, circular economy.
Clean Installation Offcuts Kept Out of Landfill
Sustainability should be demonstrated through what happens in practice, not only through future intentions.
All clean ONE-DNA™ artificial-turf offcuts generated through Ecovia installations are collected and delivered to a recycling facility rather than sent to landfill. The material can then be processed back into reusable polyethylene raw material.
This gives Ecovia a practical recycling pathway for clean installation offcuts today, alongside a turf system designed for complete recyclability at the end of its useful life.
We commit to a Circular Economy

Many companies in the artificial turf industry claim to offer ‘eco-friendly’ products, but unfortunately, some engage in greenwashing - making vague environmental claims without full transparency. Unlike competitors who may not provide verifiable recycling programs or fail to account for the end-of-life disposal of their products, Ecovia Turf offers a fully circular solution. We believe in full transparency and back our sustainability claims with real, measurable actions - setting us apart from others who only market ‘green’ without the commitment to follow through.
We collect all of our clean turf waste, including off-cuts, strips, and small pieces that are too small to reuse on site. Although these pieces may seem minor, they add up—and rather than allowing them to become landfill waste, we ensure they’re recycled. The facility also has the ability to recycle the products at ‘end of life’, allowing them to be cleaned and reused after 15 years of use!
Once the turf reaches the recycling plant, it is combined with other single-polymer materials, such as plant pots, to enhance the efficiency of the recycling process. The turf first goes through a shredder that breaks it down into smaller pieces. Next, it is thoroughly cleaned with powerful jets to remove sand, dirt, and debris, followed by a drying process.
After cleaning, the material is melted down and granulated into small plastic beads. These granules can then be repurposed into new products, providing a second life for what would otherwise be waste. This process completes the recycling loop for our ONE-DNA™ turf, ensuring that every piece of turf we recycle is transformed into a valuable resource for future use.
By recycling our turf waste in collaboration with Recycling Solutions Australia, we are actively reducing landfill waste, minimizing environmental impact, and supporting the shift toward a circular economy. It’s all part of our mission to make sustainable choices in every aspect of our business.
Ethical and Environmentally Friendly
Artificial turfs offer the best alternative to high-maintenance natural lawns, especially for landscaping, sporting, and other recreational and commercial projects. They are designed to look and feel like natural grass but are durable enough to withstand hours of activity and harsh weather conditions.
All over the world artificial grass systems are made from a range of different raw materials which include fibers, backing, and coating. The result? High production energy impact and difficulties in recycling in a non-regulated market.
Due to its composition, when synthetic grass reaches its end of life in 5 - 15 years, the end product is difficult to recycle. Traditional turf systems are a combination of different plastics and the separation process is challenging and tedious. As a result, more artificial turf waste ends up in the environment, either in the form of greenhouse gasses or microplastic
Our artificial turf systems are made from the same polymer, which means no raw material will be sent to landfills. Using a single polymer also means significant reduction in energy required to produce our turfs, thus reducing the use of fossil fuels.
Premium performance today, with a more sustainable material design for the future.
As veterans in the synthetic turf industry, we don’t just pride ourselves on the quality of our products and the exceptional service we provide to our clients. We’re also passionate about driving positive change in the industry.
A number of artificial grass suppliers claim to have products that are beneficial for the environment. Unfortunately, most of these involve using food sources like sugar cane in production.
We are dedicated to reducing the negative environmental impacts of the global turf industry by offering fully tested circular products that are sustainable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing.
By closing the loop in the manufacturing process, we are helping address the current waste management systems and limited sustainable solutions within the industry.

What Customers Say About Our Team
The experience customers have during a project matters as much as the finished result. Our reviews reflect the communication, preparation, workmanship and care delivered by the Ecovia team.
Susie and I are very happy with the job that Ecovia completed in our back yard. They are very nice and genuine. The quest for sustainability and the environment is a sensible idea, and they are passionate about getting us all to consider it as a way of doing things. I would wholeheartedly recommend Ecovia to anyone wishing to change their garden area.
We came across Ecovia at the Brisbane Home Show and were impressed by their knowledge and passion for his product. What made it even more attractive were its sustainability benefits. The whole process from measure & quote through to preparation and installation was trouble free and we could not be happier with the finished result. Our pool, patio and courtyard areas have been given a much needed transformation and our friends and family all agree that they now look fantastic. Thanks Steve and the team - we cannot recommend you highly enough!!
