Notts Sport Launches CocoTurf, World’s First Non-Plastic Synthetic Turf Made from Natural Coconut Fibres
Wednesday 5 March, 2025 – Notts Sport, the UK’s premier specialist in play and sports surfacing, is proud to announce the release of CocoTurf, a groundbreaking synthetic turf made entirely from natural coconut fibres. This innovative product offers a sustainable, eco-friendly solution for playgrounds and recreational spaces, combining durability, performance, and environmental responsibility.
In an increasingly environmentally conscious world, Notts Sport is excited to present CocoTurf as an alternative to traditional synthetic grass, which often relies on plastic materials. By eliminating the use of plastics, microplastics, and per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), the company has redefined the concept of artificial turf, while maintaining the high standards of performance and safety expected from play surfaces.
Crafted from coconut husks, a renewable natural resource, CocoTurf’s surface is backed by certified natural rubber latex, making it 100% non-plastic and free from toxic substances. This results in a safe, environmentally friendly, and long-lasting surface, perfect for children’s playgrounds, schools, parks, and other high-traffic areas. The materials used in CocoTurf are entirely natural and non-toxic, providing a safer option for outdoor play without the environmental concerns typically associated with artificial turf.
One of the key advantages of CocoTurf is its minimal environmental impact. Unlike traditional synthetic turf, CocoTurf utilizes natural coconut fibres, making it more sustainable and biodegradable. This not only reduces the risk of harmful microplastics entering the environment but also minimizes the carbon footprint associated with manufacturing plastic-based surfaces. Additionally, CocoTurf is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, providing high levels of durability.
In terms of production, each coconut produces approximately 200 grams of usable fibres, and 600 coconuts’ husks are enough to cover a 60-square-metre children’s play area.
Notts Sport CEO Duncan Bennett expresses his excitement about this revolutionary product, saying, “This is a significant milestone in the evolution of outdoor play surfaces. Our drive to find more sustainable surfacing solutions has led us to invent the world’s first non-plastic synthetic grass – CocoTurf. This is not just another product; it’s a sustainability revolution. Communities can now 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.”
CocoTurf’s design and performance make it the ideal choice for anyone seeking an environmentally responsible, durable, and safe surfacing solution. It promises to transform playgrounds and parks, providing an eco-friendly alternative that meets the highest safety and performance standards while reducing the environmental footprint of traditional artificial turf.
With CocoTurf, Notts Sport is paving the way towards a greener, more sustainable future for outdoor recreational spaces. By choosing CocoTurf, communities can enjoy the benefits of artificial turf while safeguarding the planet and the health of future generations.
