The award-winning and innovative SPORTFIX CLEAN filtration system effectively captures and retains microplastics such as SBR rubber, EPDM granulate (infill material) and synthetic grass fibres from artificial sports pitches. The channel body made of 100% recycled composite filled with CARBOTEC 100 filter substrate can reliably retain the smallest of plastic particles down to 0.45 µm.
Installed around the perimeter of the playing field, the system collects surface water along with microplastics transported by run-off, wind or broken off during play. The infill material and synthetic fibres are prevented from entering sewer networks or other watercourses, minimising the risk of plastic pollution within the environment.

Rubber granules or synthetic grass fibres can get caught on athletes’ shoes or clothing. The SPORTFIX CLEAN particle trap element was specially developed to be installed at the players’ exit to collect microplastic deposits when players leave the field.
When clearing snow from artificial sports pitches, there can be a significant amount of microplastic discharge. To prevent microplastics from entering the sewerage or watercourses, the SPORTFIX CLEAN snow trap element drains melting snow while capturing rubber granules and broken blades of grass.
HAURATON were awarded the Environmental Technology Award in 2019 for the SPORTFIX CLEAN filter channel in the Emission Reduction, Treatment and Separation category.
Managing Director of HAURATON Marcus Reuter states “As a specialist in drainage systems, it is important to us to contribute to a clean environment and to be committed to research and development. The award makes us extremely happy and spurs us on to pursue further ideas for new environmental technologies”.
