Sports floor recycling from stuttgart

The history of PR Recycling begins in 1993 in Filderstadt. The company, which was still young at that time, started as a pioneer in its sector and was one of the first in the world to deal with the dismantling and recycling of sports floors.

In almost 30 years of company history, PR Recycling has remained true to its role as a pioneer. The Swabian DNA of the company carries a special inventive spirit. Recognizing problems and finding the best possible solutions for people and the environment is a fundamental virtue of PR Recycling. This is how we find solutions that are aligned with the priorities of the Recycling Act and drive sustainable recycling.

Our maxim is to increase the separation of waste at the point of generation in accordance with the Commercial Waste Ordinance 2017.

We analyze tasks on a project basis and with a wealth of experience. In this way, we determine the best possible approaches to reuse, recycling as well as recovery of sports surfaces and their components.

Until now, up to 20 truckloads were needed to transport away a removed artificial turf system – depending on the masses installed in the system. While the artificial turf still makes up the smallest part, the sand-rubber mixture and the elastic layer make up the largest part. Our INSITU separation and recycling processes on site allow for a significant reduction of waste transports.

Smart inventiveness

Our progress in the recycling of elastic layers and the high-purity separation of sand-rubber mixtures on site shows how far the Swabian inventive spirit has already taken us.

PR Recycling has succeeded in developing a process for INSITU Recycling. This enables us to recycle elastic layers directly on site and saves the environment the disposal of 200 to 250 tons of rubber granulates.

PR Recycling is the first company to plan the high-purity separation of sand-rubber mixtures in Germany. This will eliminate the need to ship them abroad and allow the recycled materials to begin a new life cycle.

Für den Abtransport eines ausgebauten Kunstrasensystems wurden bisher bis zu 20 LKW-Ladungen benötigt – abhängig von den verbauten Massen im System. Während der Kunstrasen dabei immer noch den kleinsten Anteil ausmacht, stellen das Sand-Gummi-Gemisch sowie die Elastikschicht den größten Anteil. Unsere INSITU Trennungs- und Recyclingverfahren vor Ort erlauben eine signifikante Reduzierung der Abtransporte.

Our philosophy: recycle sports surfaces sustainably

We are aware of our corporate responsibility towards the environment and society. That is why we are committed to sustainable recycling of artificial turf, tartan and other sports surfaces and try to have a positive impact on a development in the right direction. The legal framework for recycling is complex and changing dynamically. For many years, PR Recycling has therefore had its activities and processes voluntarily certified and regularly audited. An overview of the certification can be found here.

As a specialist waste management company, PR Recycling stands for transparency. All material flows can be traced in our company diary. Recycling is carried out in a timely manner, so that a balanced material balance is shown every year.

In addition, PR Recycling is involved in national and European committees to increase the quality and transparency of end-of-life solutions for sports surfaces. We are also happy to support planners and building owners in this regard.
