Written by Biltright Turf | Dec 4, 2023 6:07:28 PM

At BiltRight Turf, we're dedicated to transforming outdoor spaces into remarkable havens that elevate the quality of life. Our passion lies in creating lasting memories and fostering connections within families and loved ones.

Today, we're here to address misconceptions surrounding PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) in artificial grass. We want to clarify that not all artificial grass contains PFAS. In this article, we will explain what PFAS are, debunk the myths, and explain how we ensure consumer safety with our PFAS-free products.

What Are PFAS?

Understanding the PFAS Threat

PFAS, sometimes referred to as "forever chemicals," are man-made substances with the potential to persist in the environment for a long period of time and potentially pose health risks. They can be found in various common products, but not all artificial grass contains them.

 

Separating Fact from Fiction

Debunking PFAS Misconceptions with Artificial Grass

Misconceptions regarding PFAS in artificial turf are common, but easy to understand. Here are a few:

  • Does All Artificial Grass Contains PFAS:  No. We offer PFAS-free options for every budget.
  • Is PFAS-Free Grass Durable:  Yes. Our high-quality, PFAS-free artificial grass is both durable and long-lasting.
  • Does the Presence of PFAS Pose Risks:  Potentially. However, our commitment to PFAS-free products addresses these concerns.

 

Our Commitment to Safety

How BiltRight Turf Ensures PFAS Free Artificial Grass

At BiltRight Turf, your safety is our top priority. We guarantee PFAS-free artificial grass through these measures:

  • No PFAS in Our Import Products: Our supply partners do not use PFAS chemicals in the process of making our premium import artificial grass products. This fact has been independently validated to confirm that there are no detectable PFAS in our imported products.
  • Clear Identification: To make it easy for you and your customers to spot our PFAS-free products, we've added a "PFAS-Free" badge on the product pages of our website and in our printed materials.

 

Clarification of PFAS and Drought Tolerant Legislation

Setting the Record Straight

In recent months there have been a couple of different pieces of legislation that have been conflated and, to be honest, can be confusing. You can read more about them in this blog, but the main takeaway is that Artificical Grass is NOT banned statewide in California.

There was a bill aiming to ban all surfaces containing PFAS, but it was vetoed. However, since not all artificial grass contains PFAS, it would not have been a complete ban on all turf.
