  2. Sustainability assessment of playing fields

Sustainability assessment of playing fields

Sustainability is hot. Buyers of products are increasingly asking for environmentally-friendly solutions. This is also the case in the playing fields sector. Various methods are available to quantify sustainability, such as People-Planet-Profit, Carbon Footprint and Cradle to Cradle. None of these methods are easy to use for sustainability assessment of playing fields.

It is for this reason that Kiwa ISA Sport, supported by specialists in the field of life-cycle analyses, has developed a system that can be used to determine the sustainability of playing fields and associated products. The method is based on EN14040 and EN14044, consisting of analyses of a product throughout its entire life cycle. The outcome is a categorization based on a sustainability indicator / Eco-label.

The method also leads to an EPD (= Environmental Product Declaration) report or environmental statement in accordance with EN15804.

Who is it for?
Companies and municipalities that are aiming to procure sustainably;
Manufacturers and building contractors that supply to organizations that are aiming to procure sustainably;
Manufacturers that want to make sustainable products.

When do you need it?
To demonstrate that you are aiming to work in a sustainable manner;
To compare the environmental impact of various playing fields and/or components;
To award an Eco-label to specific playing fields and/or components.
