Abstract

An artificial turf infill comprising a thermally treated olive pit material. The thermally treated olive pit material exhibits exceptional antimicrobial resistance and biodegradation resistance in moist and humid conditions. In some embodiments, the thermally treated olive pit material comprises olive pit fragments that have been heated to a sufficiently high temperature to chemically modify the structure/composition of the hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin components and render them resistant to biodegradation in moist/humid environment.
