I found this article to be a very interesting read. Its interesting how useful different types of polymers are. I found it intelligent to use recycled tires as the part of the turf of the field. It makes sense to use recycled materials when the quality isn't super important. Since the quality of the track was more important, using recycled materials would not be a good idea. I was very intrigued to find how much chemistry plays such a large part in construction projects.
