Notts Sport, a UK specialist in play and sports surfacing, is launching CocoTurf as the world’s first non-plastic artificial turf made entirely from natural coconut fibres.

CocoTurf is a sustainable solution for playgrounds and recreational spaces combining durability and performance, and an alternative to traditional synthetic grass, which often relies on plastic materials.

It is based on durable fibres made from coconut husks with a backing of certified natural rubber latex which makes it 100% non-plastic and free from toxic substances

In terms of production, each coconut yields approximately 200 grams of usable fibres, and the husks of 600 coconuts provide sufficient fibres to cover a 60-square-metre children’s play area.

“Our drive to find ever more sustainable surfacing solutions has led us to invent the world’s first non-plastic synthetic grass,” says Notts Sport CEO Duncan Bennett, “For the first time, communities can install an artificial surface without the harmful impact of plastics. This is the future of play surfaces and we’re thrilled to lead the charge.”
