For example, 100% recycled LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) mats reduce their overall environmental effect and support the circular economy by repurposing post-consumer plastic waste. The product is positioned well in marketplaces, and environmental issues are addressed by the emphasis on sustainability.

Demand for turf protection mats is strongly associated with the sports, landscaping, and event management sectors. Availability of recycled materials aids the sectors that seek sustainable solutions.
