  • Which Roofing Materials Are Best For The Environment

    The best eco-friendly roofing depends on the roofing materials, its lifespan, and your local climate. Metal and clay roofs last decades and are highly recyclable, while green and solar roofs cut energy use and even generate power. Asphalt shingles are cheap but short-lived and wasteful, making them the least sustainable choice.

    Human activities such as construction are done for the sake of shelter and business. In earlier times, buildings were made of natural materials using simple processes. In time, as large cities came up, construction became an industry, undertaken by professionals who were trained, experienced and licensed in the practices.

    Studies show that construction activities have a major impact on the environment. This industry is responsible for much of the pollution on earth, as a result of manufacturing building materials, disposal of waste, air, sound and water pollution, loss of tree cover, destruction of flora and fauna habitats and more. Additionally, manufacturing of building materials impacts your health, and can cause allergies, respiratory and cardiovascular issues.

    Today the industry has woken up to these issues and there is a huge push towards the mindful sourcing and use of building material manufacturing, deployment and waste disposal.

  • Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Pollution: A Silent Killer

    In a general sense, common people consider pollution to be soil, water, noise and air pollution. Many of us are unaware of the nature and extent of pollution in a broad sense. Some pollutants work silently and can have long-term effects with prolonged exposure. One of them is VOCs pollution, which acts as a silent killer, and we are frequently affected by it. They have toxic effects not only on the human body but also on the environment. Volatile organic compounds are increasing the risk of global warming day by day.

    What are the VOCs?

    Volatile organic compounds are a type of chemical and organic compound that have a high vapour pressure at room temperature. High vapour pressure correlates with a low boiling point, which relates to the number of the sample’s molecules in the surrounding air, a trait known as ‘volatility’. Typically found in a gaseous form and is consequently widely produced by humans as well as distributed throughout the environment for a variety of domestic and commercial purposes.

  • How Much Mulch Is Too Much?

    Anything over 3 inches in most planting areas crosses into risky territory.

    Signs You’ve Over-Mulched

    • Mushrooms or sour, swampy smells
    • Water pooling instead of soaking in
    • Yellowing leaves despite adequate watering
    • Bark damage or rot near plant bases

    These are signs that roots aren’t getting enough oxygen.

    The #1 Mulching Mistake: Mulch Volcanoes

    Piling mulch against tree trunks or plant stems—often called a mulch volcano—is one of the most damaging practices in home landscaping.

    Why It’s Harmful

    • Traps moisture against bark, leading to rot
    • Encourages pests and fungal disease
    • Forces roots to grow upward instead of outward

    The Right Way

    • Keep mulch 2–3 inches deep
    • Pull mulch 2–3 inches away from trunks and stems
    • Think donut, not volcano

    Trees and shrubs thrive when their root flares are exposed and dry.

  • Green’s Fake Grass Potty Pads

    More and more pet owners are installing artificial turf for their dogs. Whether the turf application is intended for their backyards, dog runs, or indoor training facilities, we believe there is no better option on the market than Xtreme Green’s synthetic pet turf. 

    From the ultra-soft, thick-bodied Bluegrass Blend to the well-balanced Select Fescue, our pet turf varieties have provided pet owners with quality pet surface solutions for years.

    Dogs, in particular, have loved our products, as they are super soft on their paws and joints, perfect for canines that might have mobility issues or new pups learning the ropes for the first time. 

    While there are endless applications for fake grass for dogs, by far the most popular variety is potty training pads. Every dog owner can relate to the struggle of potty training your new puppy, especially when there are plenty of appealing carpets throughout the house that your new pet might gravitate towards. 

    Synthetic turf potty pads are the best option on the market to help alleviate indoor accidents, and, seeing as we’re the best synthetic turf provider in the industry, we thought who better to help explain the ins and outs of this popular application.

  • How Artificial Turf and Thoughtful Design Create Sustainable Landscapes

    Today’s landscape pros and homeowners are rethinking what it means to have a “green” yard. It’s not just about the color—it’s about conserving water, reducing chemical use, and building beautiful, functional spaces that last. 

    At Turf Distributors, we’re proud to support sustainable landscaping practices with high-performance, safe artificial turf that’s free of lead and harmful forever chemicals like PFAS. Here’s how you—and your customers—can make a bigger environmental impact with smarter design choices. 

    1. Dramatically Reduce Water Use

    Traditional lawns are water hogs. A single square foot of grass can drink over 55 gallons of water each year. Artificial turf brings that number down to virtually zero, helping homeowners, businesses, and municipalities lower their water bills and meet conservation goals—without giving up the lush, green aesthetic. 

    2. Mix in Rock, Stone, and Hardscape Accents

    A sustainable yard is also a beautiful one. Combine turf with native stone, decorative gravel, concrete pads, or xeriscaping elements to create texture, flow, and usable space. These combinations reduce water needs, minimize upkeep, and bring year-round curb appeal. They also create lovable, livable outdoor environments that people genuinely enjoy spending time in.

  • Why Artificial Turf is a Game-Changer for Pet Owners

    Dogs love to run, roll, dig, and do their business outside—but that doesn’t mean your lawn should suffer. Traditional grass can’t keep up with energetic pets, and maintaining it can turn into a full-time job

    That’s why pet-friendly turf like VistaPet™ from Turf Distributors is in high demand—built for durability, safety, and easy cleanup.

    1. Cleanup Is a Breeze

    VistaPet™ features advanced drainage technology and optional antimicrobial infill, making it easy to rinse and deodorize. Rain or shine, your turf stays clean and dry—no muddy paws, no patchy spots, no stress.

    2. Designed to Withstand Playtime

    We’ve engineered VistaPet™ with reinforced tuft bind and short, durable pile height to handle the daily wear of pets without matting or flattening. It bounces back—just like your dog.

  • Customer case: City of Gothenburg

    The City of Gothenburg conducts extensive environmental work, including limiting microplastics from the city’s artificial grass pitches. The EU has banned the sale of all rubber-based infill material for sports pitches from October 2031 – with a phase-out from 2023.

    When the Sports and Associations Administration of the City of Gothenburg builds new artificial turf pitches or renovates existing ones, the choice of infill material is crucial. For the construction of the Kortedalavallen artificial turf pitch in 2021, AGC/OD100 was chosen, and the results have been very positive – with high ratings from both players and the administration. The higher density of the material makes it particularly well adapted to the Nordic climate, as it neither floats nor blows away. It is also resistant to UV radiation, which contributes to a long lifespan. Compared to fossil-based car tire infill, our material is a more durable option that does not absorb water, improving year-round usability.

  • Intelligent Solutions for a Greener Future

    We are changing our name – but our mission remains the same: to create smart and sustainable biomaterials for the future.

    Since the start in 2018, we have developed bioplastics in our lab on Hönö under the name A Good Choice (company name ImproveTech Hönö).
    Now we are taking the next step in our company journey – and changing our name to BIQ Materials.

    “The name change to BIQ Materials marks an important milestone in our journey. We have now laid the foundation for a commercial scale-up of the company, and our new name reflects exactly what we stand for – biodegradable, intelligent materials. We will be the smart alternative – both for business and for the planet,” says Fredrik Bergegård/Jerker Funnemark (we get to decide who speaks).

    BIQ Materials stands for IQ + BIO – intelligent and smart biomaterials and is a name that better reflects both our technology and our ambition: to offer bio-based plastic materials that are functional, circular and smart to use. We have several bioplastic materials in our product portfolio – adapted for different types of industrial plastic production, and we also offer bioinfill for artificial grass pitches.
