This chapter examines the transformative impact of geosynthetics on ground improvement, spotlighting their role in fostering sustainable solutions for various geotechnical and geoenvironmental challenges. By synergizing with traditional and unconventional construction materials, geosynthetics amplify their environmental benefits, aligning with global movements towards sustainable development and a circular economy. The discourse explores various geosynthetic applications, from reinforcing soil structures and enhancing landfill drainage systems to creating practical barriers and stabilizing embankments over soft grounds. Special attention is given to integrating natural materials such as coir and jute, underscoring their potential to further the environmental advantages of geosynthetics. This overview emphasizes the significance of geosynthetics in soil improvement practices, demonstrating their crucial contribution to eco-friendly engineering and the pursuit of global sustainability goals.
