SYNTHETIC FIBRE FOR USE IN AN ARTIFICIAL LAWN AND ARTIFICIAL LAWN COMPRISING SUCH A SYNTHETIC FIBRE

摘要

The invention relates to a synthetic fibre, in particular a synthetic fibre for use in an artificial lawn. The invention also relates to an artificial lawn comprising such a synthetic fibre. According to the invention the synthetic fibre is to that end characterised in that it is, at least partially, made of a biodegradable material. By using a "bio-based" or biodegradable material as the raw material, the fibre thus obtained can be produced in large amounts from a biological natural project, whose availability is guaranteed also in the future. In addition, the use of a biodegradable fibre in an artificial lawn has the advantage that the fibre can be broken down over time without causing environmental pollution and contamination, unlike crude oil- based synthetic fibres, which remain present permanently, also after use, and thus burden the environment to a significant degree.
