Life Green pitches

The Green Pitches project focuses in making Amsterdam and Haarlem's artificial grass pitches sustainable, covering the themes of circularity, smart and sustainable building, climate adaptive and generating energy, using an innovative method for tendering: the Scale Up. Artificial grass pitches are not circular yet, they cause heat stress, a reduced water management system and a huge pile of waste. The project puts a strong emphasis on replication of common tendering specifications, monitoring tools and tendering documents for artificial grass pitches in the entire EU, aiming for at least 25 replication locations within 5 years, giving a significant increase of positive environmental effects.
