“…When comparing with the classical fibers employed for geotextiles production which are prepared from recycled synthetic polymers, namely polypropylene and polyester ones, jute has better mechanical properties (which make it suitable for reinforcement application) and it is more hygroscopic (which makes it suitable for drainage application) [59,60]. When biodegradable geotextiles are required, natural fibers such as coir and jute are used.…”

Geotextiles, a group of high-performance materials, have grown during the last decades into needful auxiliaries when it comes to infrastructure, soil, construction, agriculture and environmental applications. Although geotextiles made of synthetic fibers (geosynthetics) are considered a modern achievement, the basic concept dates back to ancient times when textiles consisting of locally available natural fibers were employed to increase the stability of roads and soils. In recent decades, considering the growing interest in environmental protection and sustainable development based on using renewable resources and the recovery and recycling of waste of various origins, the use of natural fibers-based geotextiles is a viable alternative, despite their limited-life service owing to their biodegradability. In addition to this feature, their low cost, good mechanical properties and large-scale accessibility recommend them for geo-engineering applications, environmental sensitive applications in geotechnical engineering, such as land improvements and soil erosion control. This paper focuses on geotextiles as a versatile tool in environmental applications given their high theoretic and practical relevance as substantiated by recent literature reports. Natural and synthetic geotextiles are presented herein, as well as their features that recommend them for geo-engineering. Insights on the main types of applications of geotextiles are also included, along with a wide variety of materials employed to perform specific functions.

“…Factors that affect the construction of geotextile include the type of seam, seam location, type of stich and thread, and the number of row of stitching [19]. The type of seam is important to develop a good strength for the geotextile.…”

Geotextiles are widely used in the civil engineering projects as ideal materials for building, road and railway constructions for separation, reinforcement, filtration, drainage, ground and pavement stabilization and soil erosion control. Geotextile made of synthetic polymeric products dominates the current market more compared to natural geotextiles due to many advantages such as the function, performance and variable applications. However, synthetic geotextiles are non-biodegradable and expensive, and may have an impact on the environment. On the contrary, natural geotextiles from plant fibers offers sustainable alternative that is safe and economical. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of natural fibers from pineapple leaves and luffa as geotextile materials in combination with bio-grout from vegetable waste with respect to erosion control. Application of these two methods at the experimental site showed that the natural geotextile has significant influence in controlling surface erosion and reducing soil loss. These results demonstrated that the combined application of natural geotextile and bio-grout can provide an effective measure in slope protection against erosion.
