First ONE-DNA™ artificial turf field installed in Germany

Heiler and GreenFields have taken an important step toward a more sustainable future for artificial turf sports fields with the installation of Germany’s first-ever ONE-DNA™ field. Located in the public park of Harsewinkel, the small field (20 x 13 meters) is accessible to everyone and is built entirely from a single material, making efficient and complete recycling possible after years of use.

Sustainable future with ONE-DNA™

Sustainability is an increasingly important issue in the artificial turf industry. Traditional sports fields are often made from a mix of materials, which makes recycling difficult and inefficient. The ONE-DNA™ concept addresses this problem, made from 100% polyethylene (PE), there is no separation needed during the recycling process, which makes it fully recyclable and reusable.

Thanks to its energy-efficient production process, ONE-DNA™ also has a lower CO₂ footprint than any other artificial turf systems. After successful installations in the Netherlands, the installation of the first German ONE-DNA™ pitch marks an important milestone for sustainable solutions in sports infrastructure.

Germany’s first ONE-DNA™ football field 

Installed in April 2025, the new field is located in the city park of Harsewinkel, located in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, between Münster and Bielefeld. The park offers a wide range of activities, including an adventure playground and other sports facilities.
The ONE-DNA™ football field is open to the public, encouraging people of all ages to enjoy outdoor sports while supporting the shift toward environmentally responsible sport facilities.

Collaboration between Heiler and GreenFields

This pioneering project is the result of a strong collaboration between Heiler and GreenFields. GreenFields, a globally recognized innovator and supplier in the artificial turf sector, shares Heiler’s vision for sustainable sports solutions.
Together, the two companies have shown that it is possible to combine performance, durability, and full recyclability. Offering a true alternative for the next generation of artificial turf fields.
