Ramboll report confirms Re-Match’s category leadership
New report from the global engineering consultancy takes a close look at the turf recycling industry in Northern and Central Europe.
Nordic Alpha Partners (NAP), who last year became investor in Re-Match, has just published a report which was commissioned with the leading global engineering and consultancy company, Ramboll. The report analyses and compares the processes of the 6 biggest companies who specialises in treatment of artificial turf pitches in Northern and Central Europe. Re-Match is among the companies included in the study and has contributed with documentation of processes.
NAP, who shares Re-Match’s vision of converting this large global waste stream into high value products and circularity, remains open for more investments and acquisitions within the turf recycling industry. So, NAP engaged Ramboll in order to get an in-depth assessment of available processes, the players in the region and their performance.
The report confirms that artificial turf pitches are recyclable to almost 100 % depending on the procedure and that the most environmentally efficient way is to create a fully circular loop with a minimum of waste. The vendor which showed the best overall performance was Re-Match.
“We see the result of Ramboll’s analysis as an acknowledgement of the efforts we and our partners have put into developing our process for sustainable recycling of worn-out turf,” says CEO of Re-Match, Dr. Stefaan Florquin.
While Re-Match can be satisfied that the report confirms the company’s claim to true turf recycling and transparency – there are still improvements to achieve and factories to build.
“So, this is not the time to rest on our laurels but rather to continue to engage with customers and indeed also with our colleagues in the industry with the aim to increase transparency and the level of recycling overall,” says Stefaan Florquin.
