I chose Full Recycle-60 because sustainability was a big priority for me. The fact that it’s made with recycled materials gave me peace of mind, but I didn’t expect it to look this good. It has a natural tone that blends really well with the rest of my landscape. We installed it in our backyard, which sees a lot of foot traffic from family gatherings and barbecues. After a few months, I can confidently say it's held up beautifully-no tearing, no matting.
Even during a couple of intense monsoon storms, the turf drained fast and didn’t shift. I also appreciate how cool it stays even in direct sunlight. Friends have commented on how soft it feels underfoot, and our kids love playing on it. Maintenance has been nearly nonexistent-just a quick brush every now and then. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to go green without sacrificing quality.
Well, majority of our artificial grass products’ components are made of recycleable materials, 100% of the full recycle series can be recycled, while about 90% of all other products on our lineup can be recycled.

Is the full recycle the only turf that uses recycled material?
Great question! This response will contain a lot of information, so let’s break it down into two sections, starting with the “clean” factor regarding different types of plastics. Hypothetically, let’s assume that the product was made of 100% recycled materials. Depending on how the materials are re-processed, post-consumer is usually the least “clean” when compared to virgin or actual plastic because of the variability of the feedstock. Even with blending, which adds overall strength, neither post-consumer nor post-industrial recycled materials can ever achieve 100% of mechanical properties of virgin materials. The degradation of these properties has a direct effect on safety factors and long term performance measures such as fatigue. This is not to say recycled plastics cannot be used in various applications, but does explain why recycled materials often have lower safety ratings. In other words, theoretically, you could have a 100% recycled material product. However, this product would never pass safety tests due to how weak the material would be. At GST, while we do care about the environment, safety is ALWAYS a top priority, as can be seen on our lead and UV testing results.
In short, our Full Recycle artificial grass series are made of polyethylene and polypropylene. The entire product can be recycled without any steps of separations.

Is the full recycle series lower quality than the other turfs?
We always want to compare the artificial grass with real grass lawn when discussing about environmental benefits. Real grass lawn requires a lot of water, on average, 60% of a household water bills goes to thirsty lawns so it is a waste of resources. More importantly, people might have a terribly wrong impressions of real grass lawns are natural therefore it is good for environment, that might be particularly true, why? Maintenance of real grass lawns can have very negative impact on our environment: the pollutions caused by lawn mowers are worse than vehicles’ emissions:
Most of the time you won’t need to worry about turf maintenance and cleaning unless there is constant traffics/usage or things need to be removed such as leaves or pet waste. A leaf blower can be used to give your turf surface a general clean, and you will need to pick up the dog waste as you normally do on natural grass.
