It is all about innovation!  In top sport innovation is an ongoing theme, always looking for new things to improve the game. In this respect, we are very pleased to have CHEMPARK Krefeld Uerdingen as sponsoring partner, supporting many activities at CHTC, but also providing a genuine value as a genuine innovation hub in our region.  The unique materials of our turf originate from here resulting not only in an Olympic quality pitch but also contains a significant sustainability innovation: The carbon atoms contained in CO2 replace one-to-one carbon in the plastic that would otherwise come from oil. This means 20%! of the pitch material is from recaptured CO2. #reduceCO2 #sustainable #innovation
