Innovation as fundamental driver

At TenCate Grass Components we embrace innovation as a fundamental driver. We continuously invest in research and development to enhance our products' performance and push the boundaries of what is achievable in the artificial grass industry. By staying at the forefront of technological advancements, we empower our customers with cutting-edge solutions that deliver superior playability, resilience, and aesthetics.  Our vision on innovation is underpinned by three main pillars: Player Perspective, Sustainability and Circularity.

Center for Turf Innovation

The Center for Turf Innovation (CTI) in Nijverdal, the Netherlands, is a research and development facility dedicated to advancing the field of turf technology and innovation.

OneDNA Technology

Unique and extensive product development has resulted in different components made from the same polymers. By using these components together, a grass carpet can be made from just one single polymer. The waste coming from the production process, the installation but also end-of-life, can be recycled back to the single polymer as there are no other raw materials mixed in during the production. OneDNA Technology sets the new standard for sustainability in artificial grass.

Circular Innovation

All our innovations are underpinned by our circular design philosophy, a strong commitment to creating solutions that are fully circular and have a sustainability benefit during the use phase. Our goal is to have a circular portfolio by 2030, without compromising on quality and performance. Some examples:
  • High-end, top quality non-infill solution for elite-football.
  • OneDNA Technology, applied in turf solutions for landscaping, made from one single polymer.
  • Components for FIH certified water-free hockey surface, saving up to 3.5 million litres of water per pitch per year, without compromising on quality and performance.
  • Natural infills like cork and olive pits.
  • Products made of recycled materials like Ecocept (baselayer, 90% recycled materials).
  • Our production sites are certified by ISCC PLUS.
