Gothenburg, Sweden
Swedish-owned golf bunker liner specialist CapillaryFlow has been nominated as a finalist in an international competition to find sustainable and natural alternatives to artificial turf on school and preschool yards.
Three finalists have been chosen by the competition, which is run by IVL, the Swedish Environmental Institute. As well as Capillary Concrete, these finalists come from Nordic Surface Sweden and Turfs.
“The three finalists were judged by the review group judged to have the greatest potential based on how they can contribute to reduced spread of microplastics. We have received great contributions and there are examples of both system and material solutions. At the event, we also hope that many customers and decision-makers participate so that we can show that it is possible to choose sustainable solutions that are both adapted to modern play, and at the same time reduce the spread of microplastics in the environment,” said Lovisa Bengtsson, project manager at IVL Swedish Environmental Institute.
The final will take place in front of a jury at the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency on February 24. All three finalists will present their ideas to a jury, which will select a winner. “This isan important competition, and we’re proud to have been selected as a finalist,” said CapillaryFlow inventor and CEO Martin Sternberg. “Now we need to refine our pitch for the final!”
