2. The company's main recycling plant is in Denmark and it is operating now

However it hasn't opened the 2nd plant here in the US yet, meanwhile they're building in the Netherlands.

This is from the OP:

Processing the unwieldy fields is a challenging and presumably expensive undertaking, Bennett said. Synthetic turf can contain sand and granulated crumb rubber, in addition to the plastic grass blades, and each of these components must be separated out before the recycling begins.

The DEP violation notice mentions that Re-Match’s recycled materials could end up in rubber mats, rubber parking bumpers, “extruded plastic pellets,” cement and grout.


Right now they're collecting the old Astro-Turf and warehousing them until the new plant is built in Schuylkill County.
