AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Sports floor components made from synthetic materials face environmental sustainability challenges due to reliance on non-renewable resources, difficulty in recycling, and degradation issues leading to microplastic pollution and shortened lifespan.

Method used

A sports floor component is manufactured by combining rubber with lignin, which is biobased and biodegradable, and cross-linked to create a matrix that enhances mechanical properties and durability, reducing plastic waste and microplastic formation.

Benefits of technology

The rubber-lignin composite offers improved mechanical strength, UV and thermal stability, and extended lifespan, while being environmentally friendly by promoting biodegradability and reducing landfill waste.
