We will take all the new material artificial grass as example. Not the recycling material.
1st cost: The artificial grass yarn cost. Now the price of yarn is $2.48/kgs.
Take Height 25mm, 7400Dtex, 160 stitches/m as example.
The weight of one square meter is 0.75kgs. So the grass yarn cost is $1.86/m2
2ed cost: the backing of the artificial grass. Now the most are the PP+NET.
PP The PP is about $0.3/m2, if use 150g
The PP is about $0.2/m2, if use 100g
The PP is about $0.15/m2, if use 90g
Net
The net cost is $0.15/m2.
3rd cost: The SBR Latex cost
Now china common SBR is $2600/ton.
Usually the sbr usage now in China market is 360g/m2 540g/m2 800g/m2
Then the cost 360g/m2-- $1/m2
540g/m2-- $1.4/m2
800g/m2-- $2.1/m2
5th cost: The cost of chemical composition which will use to make the grass anti-UV and keep the grass stable.
Usually
cost: 0$----1$. Which is according to different factories.
So for cost of 25mm, 7400Dtex, 160 stitches/m cost is from $3.86/m2 ----$6.11/m2.
If the price less than this. there will be make the quality poor.
The below is some reasons which will make the grass price cheap.
1. Use recycling grass yarn. Which will make the yarn cost reduce half.
2. Use cheap net and backing
3. The glue will use just a little or without glue.
4. There is no any chemical composition.
