Abstract
Artificial grass is mainly composed of organic polymers with a consequent potential fire hazard. However, the behaviour of artificial grass in case of fire has been poorly studied and is thus misunderstood. The GRASS project has two objectives: informing the public that natural turf has a different fire behaviour than artificial turf and improving fire behaviour of artificial turf by developing innovative, eco-friendly and industrially applicable processes. In the project, constant consultations take place with a resonance group of stake holders represented by producers, installers, sports organisations, governments and end users. The involvement of the resonance group is sufficient guarantee that the new processes emanating from this project will be acceptable for all actors involved in the artificial turf sector (from production and end usage to recycling) and that they will be put into practice.
