ONE-DNA™ by LimeGreen®

ONE-DNA™ is a pioneering initiative by LimeGreen® focusing on sustainability and environmental impact. The primary mission is to redefine the landscaping and playground market through innovative, eco-friendly solutions that prioritize recyclability and reduce carbon emissions.

ONE-DNA™ is dedicated to creating sustainable, high-quality artificial grass products specifically designed for the unregulated landscaping and playground markets. The products are engineered with a monomaterial structure, ensuring they are 100% recyclable, thereby contributing to a circular economy. By using a single type of polymer, the products maintain their material value, which simplifies the recycling process and enhances the quality of the recycled material.

Focus
The primary focus is on the landscaping and playground sectors, areas that are often overlooked in terms of regulation and sustainability. These markets hold significant potential for environmental improvement. By offering sustainable alternatives, new standards in these industries are set.

Design to Recycle
The core of the product design philosophy is recyclability. Every product in the ONE-DNA™ range is designed with its end-of-life stage in mind. The monomaterial construction ensures that the products can be easily recycled without the need for complex separation processes. This design approach not only preserves the material’s quality but also reduces waste, supporting a more sustainable lifecycle for the products.

Environmental Impact
Minimizing the carbon footprint throughout the lifecycle of the products is a key commitment. Manufacturing processes are optimized to reduce CO2 emissions significantly. By choosing materials and processes that have lower environmental impacts, the products are ensured to be as sustainable as possible from production to disposal.

Fire Safety Certifications
Safety is prioritized alongside sustainability. ONE-DNA™ has achieved several fire safety certifications for its products. Notably, the ONE-DNA™ range has achieved BFL-S1 certification without the need for sand infill and chemical additives, according to ISO 9239-1 standards. Additionally, some products within the ONE-DNA™ range have achieved BFL-S1 with sand infill and CFL-S1 without sand. These certifications underscore the commitment to producing safe, high-quality products that meet rigorous safety standards​​​​​​.

Total Transparency
Transparency is a key value. Comprehensive Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) are provided for all products. These documents offer detailed insights into the environmental impacts of the products, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal. By openly sharing this information, clients are enabled to make informed choices, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability.

Certifications and Testing
Products undergo rigorous testing and certification processes to ensure they meet the highest standards of safety and environmental impact. This includes:

• Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) verified by third-party auditors.
• Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) conducted in accordance with international standards.
• Fire safety certifications such as BFL-S1 and CFL-S1 according to ISO 9239-1.
• Various SGS testing reports for circularity, aging, and leaching​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​.

Conclusion
ONE-DNA™ by LimeGreen® is a commitment to sustainable innovation. By focusing on recyclability, reducing carbon emissions, and providing total transparency through comprehensive environmental assessments and certifications, the goal is to lead the industry towards a more sustainable future.
