European artificial turf asset register

When will Europe's artificial turf become waste?

This module connects installed artificial turf to its expected removal year, the material it contains and the processing capacity that would be needed. It is a forward-looking model, never a record of what has happened.

CTE Principle

Tomorrow's recycling challenge is already installed today.

A forecast is not a fact. It is a transparent model built from known assets, historical lifetimes and documented assumptions. Where any of those three is missing, the answer stays Unknown.

ForecastModelScenarioActual

No forecast tonnage can be published yet. A tonnage requires an installation cohort, a lifetime distribution and a documented mass model. None of the three is available with a traceable source for any country in the dataset.

CTE Data noteLandscape and leisure turf is modelled in aggregate only. No individual private household is recorded.
