This page is dedicated to showcasing the scientific research and findings from the collaborative efforts of Cardigan Mountain School and Princeton University in implementing Risk Management Measures (RMM) on artificial turf fields. Both institutions are at the forefront of testing and validating these measures to reduce the environmental impact of artificial turf, particularly in minimizing the dispersion of microplastics and rubber granulates.

Through rigorous research and real-world application, the findings presented here aim to demonstrate the effectiveness of RMM in creating more sustainable sports facilities. This page serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding how these innovative practices are setting new standards for environmentally friendly artificial turf management.

Their conclusion is that the dispersal of microplastics can be effectively prevented with proper risk management measures. This finding confirms the results of European research, as demonstrated in the Ecoloop Kalmar report* and the Danish Silkeborgbanen study.*
