Environmental Products & Solutions
Caring for the environment; caring for the community. At Target Technologies International (TTII) these are words that anchor our corporate Vision statement, and are the very substance of who we are. In the 21st century the term "global village" has assumed a new and potentially hazardous meaning, as developing economies seriously strain our finite resources. Never in our history has the need to reduce, reuse and recycle been more apparent. TTII is pleased to supply our environmentally responsible products to a number of diverse industries and sectors - including the design and construction of synthetic sports surfaces.

STDF: Synthetic Turf Derived Fuel
In association with the Lafarge/Systech Corporation, Target Technologies (TTII) has addressed a crucial, environmental clean-up issue: the safe and efficient disposal of old artificial turf sports field systems.
Utilizing its own proprietary technology – in combination with TTII’s supply chain network - Lafarge/Systech will convert obsolete artificial turf sports fields into an efficient, alternate energy source to power its cement kilns. In this era of energy volatility, “Synthetic Turf Derived Fuel” – or STDF – has the promise to help solve several challenges – including the diversion of non-recyclable fuel bearing material from landfills, as it replaces fossil fuels.
With typical field life-spans of only 8 to 12 years, progressive municipalities and school boards are now finding it necessary to plan not only for their new artificial field’s installation – but also for its eventual demise. TTII and Lafarge/Systech will soon offer an clean burning, environmentally-friendly solution. To learn more about this exciting process, simply follow the quick link below.
