European Turf Impact Map

European Turf Impact Map

What actually happens to end-of-life artificial turf across Europe?

CTE Principle

The environmental impact of artificial turf cannot be understood at collection. It must be followed to its final destination.

About this indicator: Recycling infrastructure

What it measures
Verified physical processing of end-of-life turf or turf-derived fractions per country.
Period
Current status in the frozen country dossiers (v1.0).
Measured, modelled or reported
Facility records with their own operational and location status.
How the colour is calculated
Categories: fixed operational site, mobile only, historical/project only, none identified.
Sources
The sources linked to each value are shown in the country panel and the Data sources tab.
Main limitations
Part-stream and used-infill processors are not yet classified separately. Year, stream and material filters do not apply.

Impact methodology

Every impact record states its functional unit, system boundary, transport, energy, output yield, substitution, credits, disposal, reference year, uncertainty and sources. Missing assumptions remain Unknown.
