Elite Turf USA installs Power System in New Jersey

Elite Turf USA, powered by Act Global, has secured three new U.S. installations of its premier, eco-friendly Power System at GoodSports USA’s facility in Wall Township, N.J.

GoodSports USA will returf the existing multipurpose fields that are used for athletic events, summer camps, parties and more. Elite Turf USA’s Power System is an all-in-one turf system that’s 100 percent recyclable and more durable, according to the company. All three fields will be game-ready by June.

“GoodSports USA is proud to partner with Elite Turf to provide eco-friendly, durable turf fields to all guests who walk through our door,” said GoodSports USA General Manager Danny Pepe. “Our mission has always been to provide a safe and spacious setting for recreational programs that bring people of all ages together, and by installing Elite Turf’s Power System, we are doing just that. The Power System’s nonrubber infill and multilayered turf with padding will enhance safety for everyone who plays and visits our facility.”

Elite Turf USA said the Power System has no polyurethane backing, which makes the turf recyclable at end of life. The Power System is USDA-approved and contains no PAHs, heavy metals or carcinogens and is composed of environmentally friendly, nontoxic fibers. The Power System’s patent-pending infill, derived from recycled ocean plastic, also aids in removing more than 1 million bottles from the ocean per field.

Elite Turf’s Power System encompasses a woven turf that’s stronger and more durable than traditional tufted turf. It’s built on the company’s ProPlay pad foundation, which plays and feels firm while testing soft. The woven backing also allows the field to drain faster.

“Initiating another installation in the U.S. with GoodSports USA is a notable milestone for us,” said Paul Adams, vice president of sales and marketing for Elite Turf. “As we continue to expand our product locally and nationally, the safety and wellbeing of athletes, children, their families and coaches remains our top priority. We look forward to bringing our innovative turf to other major athletic facilities who share a similar goal and value their impact on the environment in the near future.”
