Geosynthetics, the way forward for Sustainable Waste Management About
fifty
years
back,
the
waste
management
scenario
was
very
different. The use of plastics was not as abundant as today, and even other materials were easily recycled, composted, or incinerated. Waste management is one of the biggest challenges today when we think of a clean green environment. The changing nature of the wastes, the threat to the environment, and stringent waste management regulations are all factors
influencing
the
rise
of
the
current
solutions
in
the
form
of
Geosynthetics. For more than three decades now, Geosynthetics have been an integral part of civil and environmental engineering.

Whether it is the containment of aggressive chemicals, mechanically stabilized earth walls, or extremely challenging climatic conditions, the
benefits
of
Geosynthetics
are
manifold.
Over
the
years,
the
benefits have only exceeded expectations, and the applications of Geosynthetics are on the rise.
More and more sustainable infrastructure solutions are in the form of robust, specifically engineered geosynthetic materials. Synonymous with
sustainable

is

such
significant

Serving

functions
of of
separation, filtration, drainage, barrier, and protection, the versatile and
robust
geosynthetics
provide
optimum
results
in
waste
management techniques.
Waste Management with Geosynthetics: Geosynthetic Type: Nonwoven and woven geotextiles, geocells, and geocomposites Function: Separation Description:
They

between
two
dissimilar
materials
retaining the integrity and functionality of both.
Geosynthetic
Type:
Nonwoven
and
woven
geotextiles,
geocomposites. Function: Filtration Description: They allow the water or gas to flow through but retain the finer particles.
Geosynthetic
Type:
Woven
geotextiles,
geocomposites,
geogrids,
and geocells. Function: Reinforcement Description: They provide durability and stability in materials lacking tensile capacity.

Geosynthetic
Type:
Nonwoven
geotextiles,
geomembranes,
geocomposite, geonet, and geosynthetic clay liners. Function: Barrier, hydraulic and gas Description: Relatively impermeable, they help contain liquids and gases.
Geosynthetic
Type:
Nonwoven
geotextiles,
prefabricated
geosynthetic clay liners, and geocomposites. Function: Protection Description: They act as cushioning during the overlying placement of materials and prevent damage.

As capping systems, the geosynthetic clay liners and geocomposite drain provide a distinct advantage. They help in draining, collecting, and conveying gas and runoff, providing robust protection.
Gas collection systems:
Further, in the capping systems, geonets
prevent breaches and remove the hazardous gases generated from the decomposition of waste in a landfill, preventing localized areas of high gas pressure in the liners.
Dewatering:
The
Geotube
dewatering
technology
uses
durable
geotextiles with filtration and retention abilities that help abundantly with the dewatering of sediments from site runoff. Wastewater and sludge are pumped into the permeable geotubes, then treated with flocculants, and the moisture drains through the geotextile pores under pressure. It is treated and returned to native waterways, and the sediments reprocessed.
At Ocean Geosynthetics, we work with you to develop custom waste containment systems backed by extensive research and designed to meet regulatory guidelines. With an undivided focus on a clean green environment, we use high quality geosynthetic products and materials to mitigate the environmental risks of waste management.
