AstroTurf is actually a brand name of such mats, which
apparently has become a word describing those mats. There are
many different manufacturers, some using cheaper raw materials
and some using better quality. So some actually *do* work well
as door mats, or on baseball stadiums, too.

Ultraviolet light resistance does not necessarily mean better
quality though, it just depends on whether it is for indoor or
outdoor use. If you were looking for a doormat, you might want to
make sure it says "UV resistant".

Everything you wanted to know about plastic but were afraid to
ask...
