I noticed that my artificial grass is shedding. Do you know what caused it?

Well, it is not "shedding", there could be two possibilities here:

1. There might be a problem with your artificial grass' anti-UV function. Artificial grass will start to deteriorate if it's UV protection breaks down. This happens when products are not made with proper anti UV additives ingredient. Our products' formula is all tested and proved to be the best on the market as far as anti-UV concerns. When turf starts deteriorating, fibers will break off and you will get "shedding" issues.

2. The artificial grass' tuft bind is not strong enough. The tuft bind is a terminology we use in the industry which refers to how strong the turf glues holding the fibers onto its backing. Turf made with weak tuft bind will have issues of loose fibers and make you think of "shedding". Our products are all made with very strong tuft bind at an average above 45 newton.

That's why you have to choose wisely on where to buy your artificial grass. GST is the only brand I trust and recommend.
Awesome. I learn something from this answer. :)
