greenSand: Sustainable topdressing and construction with climate positive impact! 💚🍀🌿⛳️⚽️
As the recent NOS report on CO₂ removal and certificate trading highlights (source), permanent carbon sequestration is gaining urgency worldwide. greenSand offers a practical and innovative solution that actively contributes to this goal while improving the quality of sports fields and outdoor infrastructure.
What is greenSand?
greenSand is made from olivine, a natural mineral that removes CO₂ from the atmosphere through a process called enhanced weathering. When exposed to rain and air, it permanently binds CO₂, even while in use on your golf course, sports field, or path.
Topdressing with a purpose
On golf and sports turf, greenSand is ideal for use on greens, tees, and fairways. It improves soil structure, enhances drainage, and contributes to long-term CO₂ reduction. For sports fields, this means better playability, less water retention, and real climate benefits.
Durable paths that clean the air
greenSand is also highly suitable as a semi-paving material for walking and cycling paths. The 0–6 mm fraction forms a stable, water-permeable top layer with a natural look and feel. Because it captures CO₂ permanently, these paths are not only functional but also climate-positive.
Certified CO₂ removal tradable certificates
Using greenSand doesn’t just benefit your field or path it can also boost your ESG reporting. Projects with greenSand can be officially certified via ONCRA, allowing the generation of verifiable and tradable CO₂ removal certificates. These certificates can be used for voluntary carbon offsetting or even sold on the carbon market.
A forward thinking choice
Whether you’re building sustainable paths or maintaining high quality turf, greenSand delivers functionality with environmental impact. Organizations choosing greenSand not only strengthen their infrastructure they also actively contribute to climate solutions.
