Granules & Sports Flooring

The World’s No. 1 for Premium Granules in high-class sports & leisure floorings: Melos EPDM Granules are the market leading premium products since many decades. We set the standard in design, color choice, durability and safety — used in playgrounds, running tracks, multi-purpose courts and public spaces. But we go beyond granules:

We also offer base layer products for solid foundations, as well as polyurethane products and systems for optimized surface performance.

Industrial & Cable Compounds

Melos compounds are engineered for a wide range of applications — used in energy, data and industrial systems. Safe and tailored to precise specifications — cable producers and plastic processors trust in us since many decades.

Our Mecoline and FM products are developed and tested in our own lab — meeting global standards and individual requirements, whether it’s durability, fire resistance, or mechanical stability.

Responsibility for People & Workplace

Health, Safety & Inclusion

At Melos, our people come first. Our certified occupational health and safety management system, compliant with ISO 45001, ensures a safe and healthy working environment for all employees.

  • In cooperation with Diakonie, our employees have access to professional, confidential psychological counseling.
  • We aim to provide 16 hours of Health & Safety training per employee annually to enhance awareness and reduce risks.
  • Our regularly organized Sports Days promote physical well-being, motivation, and team spirit.
  • German language courses are offered to international seasonal workers to support integration and communication.
  • A clear procedural guideline defines responsibilities and documents the appropriate response in case of health and safety issues.
  • Our comprehensive safety management system includes regular training and instructions for all employees.

Environment, Energy & Resource Use

Energy Efficiency & Climate Action

As of January 1, 2024, Melos has fully switched to renewable energy sources for its operations. Already in 2023, over 60% of our energy came from green sources. We also actively request Product Carbon Footprint certifications from our suppliers to assess emissions and pursue reduction targets.

Waste & Material Management

Resource efficiency is embedded in our production processes:

  • Production waste such as blending errors is reviewed regularly and reused where possible—for example, products with minor color deviations are repurposed for less sensitive applications.
  • By reintroducing residual materials like rubber dust into the production cycle, we maintain a very low waste rate of only 1–3%.
  • Handling of hazardous materials is governed by a detailed internal directive that ensures safe processes and clear communication across all production stages.
Water & Soil Protection

Melos operates a pump-and-treat system that filters groundwater, allowing safe discharge into the municipal sewage system. This groundwater remediation will continue until the affected soil is fully decontaminated.

Sustainability in Our Products

Eco-Design Philosophy

As part of the Sport Group, Melos is committed to creating products that combine high performance with environmental responsibility. Our eco-design program includes:

  • Increased use of recycled and renewable materials, developed by our dedicated R&D teams.
  • Designing with recyclability in mind to support closed-loop product lifecycles.
  • Development of biodegradable materials to reduce environmental impact.
  • Implementation of mono-material solutions to allow for easier separation and reuse of pure raw materials.
Leading Product Innovations
  • Poligras Paris GT zero: The world’s first CO₂-neutral hockey turf, used at the 2024 Olympic Games, made from 80% sugarcane and produced in a 100% climate-neutral process.
  • Dry-Turf: Developed with the FIH, this is the first hockey surface that requires no irrigation, pushing water-saving innovation forward.
  • LigaTurf Cross GTzero: Certified CO₂-neutral and supported by comprehensive life cycle assessments to ensure environmental performance.
