FAQs
What happens to old synthetic turf in Australia?
Until recently, most of it went straight to landfill. RE4ORM built Australia’s first dedicated turf recycling facility to change that – separating and recovering sand, rubber, and plastic layers for reuse in new Australian products.
Can synthetic turf actually be recycled?
Yes. Our custom machinery separates the components so up to 95% of materials can be reused – turning waste into new products like soft-fall underlay, bollards, and construction materials.
Why is turf recycling better than landfill?
Every tonne recycled saves around 373 kg of CO₂ emissions and has a downstream effect of the reuse of materials. It also creates reusable materials that feed back into Australian projects.
How does the recycling process work?
We manage everything – uplift, transport, separation, and reuse. Turf arrives at our Barnawartha (VIC) facility, where it’s processed and tracked from arrival to material recovery.
What materials are recovered from synthetic turf?
We recover and repurpose sand, rubber infill, plastics, and even shock pads – all cleaned, graded, and reused in local projects.
What happens to the recycled materials?
Recovered materials are reused in Australian manufacturing and construction – including playground surfacing, landscaping products, and civil infrastructure.
How much does synthetic turf recycling cost in Australia?
Pricing depends on field size, condition, and location, but it’s cost-comparable to landfill once transport and disposal fees are considered. We provide clear, fixed quotes – no hidden costs or preferential rates.
Are RE4ORM’s recycling services compliant with council or government sustainability frameworks?
Yes. RE4ORM’s audit-ready reports align with local government sustainability mandates, ESG frameworks, and circular economy policies across Australia.
Who can use RE4ORM’s services?
Anyone in the commercial space needing responsible, transparent turf disposal. We work with councils, schools, turf installers, manufacturers, and sporting bodies.
