Geosynthetics: responsible and sustainable solutions to reduce environmental impact

Using geosynthetics, more sustainable and economical structures can be built than with traditional methods using mineral aggregate, clay, steel or concrete. Geosynthetics can replace or significantly reduce the use of these primary building materials. They also increase the service life of structures, like roads, railways or dykes. Compared to traditional construction methods, building with geosynthetics means in most cases a lower total energy demand, substantial reduction of CO2 emissions and cost savings.
