Survey reveals major challenges in the field

At many sports fields, unnecessary time and product are still being wasted due to traditional packaging systems and cumbersome handling processes. That is why, over the past few weeks, we have been speaking with field managers, clubs, and users about their daily field marking operations.

What do we see on site today?

Every day, large quantities of packaging are used and discarded. Traditional jerry cans not only generate waste, but also result in product residue, contamination, and additional handling.

 

Our recent survey highlighted several key challenges:

  • 80% dispose of empty containers through the regular residual waste stream
  • 50% experience difficulties managing packaging
  • 32% report product loss caused by residue
  • 21% experience issues with clogged spray nozzles

 

For many clubs and grounds staff, these aren’t minor details, but daily operational frustrations.

And that’s exactly where we want to make a difference.

Less waste. More efficiency.

The first pilot projects demonstrate that optimizing the entire system can significantly reduce overall product consumption.

 

Across various real-world applications, we see that total product usage can be reduced by up to 50% without compromising line quality.

 

Lower consumption means:

  • Up to 90% less packaging waste
  • Reduced transport equirements
  • Less cleaning and maintenance
  • Less downtime on the field
  • Greater operational efficiency

Not just a different paint. A different system

This perfectly reflects what Expo-Line stands for today:

 

Cleaner. Less waste. Less residue.

Greener. More efficient use of raw materials and packaging.

Smarter. Smarter systems built to support field operators, not create extra work.

 

With EX E-volution, we continue to develop a new way of working in field marking.

Not driven by marketing buzzwords, but by real-world experience on the field.

Because innovation is not just about creating a better product. It’s about building a better overall concept.

 

A system that:

  • operates more efficiently
  • reduces waste
  • is easier to use
  • delivers more reliable performance
  • and is built for the future

 

Stop the race to the bottom. We don’t settle.

Building the Next Step Together

Over the coming months, we will continue to roll out and further optimize our pilot projects together with users in the field.

Real-world experience remains a crucial part of this process, and feedback from the field continues to play an essential role.

Because the best solutions are not created behind a desk.

They are built on the field itself.

Expo-Line is developing a smarter and more efficient approach to field marking.

 

Less waste. Less product loss. Greater efficiency on the field – thanks to EX E-volution.

Millions of empty jerry cans.
Every season.

And we call it sustainability?

Line marking has always been about the field.

But what happens around it matters just as much.

Handling. Storage. Waste.

It’s time to rethink the system.
