Abstract

Hybrid turf (10) comprising a plurality of synthetic fibres (3) made of a biodegradable compound, wherein said biodegradable compound comprises an amount of poly butylene succinate adipate (PBSA) equal to or greater than 60% by weight.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A hybrid turf comprising a plurality of synthetic fibres made of a biodegradable compound;
 characterised in that said biodegradable compound comprises an amount of polybutylene succinate adipate (PBSA) equal to or greater than 60% by weight of the compound.   
     
     
         2 . The hybrid turf according to  claim 1 , characterised in that said plurality of synthetic fibres are grouped into skeins, each comprising a plurality of filiform elements made of said biodegradable compound. 
     
     
         3 . The hybrid turf according to  claim 1 , characterised by comprising a backing element for said plurality of synthetic fibres. 
     
     
         4 . The hybrid turf according to  claim 3 , characterised in that said biodegradable compound comprises an amount of polybutylene succinate adipate (PBSA) equal to or greater than 80% by weight of the compound. 
     
     
         5 . The hybrid turf according to  claim 1 , characterised in that said biodegradable compound comprises an amount of polybutylene succinate adipate equal to or greater than 90% by weight. 
     
     
         6 . The hybrid turf according to  claim 1 , characterised in that said biodegradable compound comprises an amount of poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) equal to or less than 35% by weight of the total weight of the compound. 
     
     
         7 . The hybrid turf according to  claim 6 , characterised in that said biodegradable compound comprises an amount of poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) equal to or greater than 25% by weight of the total weight of the compound. 
     
     
         8 . The hybrid turf according to  claim 6 , characterised in that said biodegradable compound comprises an amount of poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) equal to or less than 25% and equal to or greater than 5% by weight of the total weight of the compound. 
     
     
         9 . The hybrid turf according to  claim 1 , characterised in that said backing element comprises at least one first layer comprising a first net that is made of natural organic material and comprises meshes defining a plurality of openings configured so as to allow the natural grass to take root therein. 
     
     
         10 . The hybrid turf according to  claim 4 , characterised in that said backing element comprises a second layer combined with said first layer, said second layer comprises a net made of said biodegradable compound. 
     
     
         11 . The hybrid turf according to  claim 9 , characterised in that said first net comprises meshes, each mesh being able to be inscribed in a square with side in the range from 0.2 cm to 2 cm. 
     
     
         12 . The hybrid turf according to  claim 1 , comprising a plurality of grass blades interspersed with said plurality of synthetic fibres.
