Jute Geotextiles and Soil Engineering
topic
Jute geotextiles include woven fabrics (200-900 g/m²), needle-punched nonwovens, and open mesh structures used for soil erosion control (slope stabilization, riverbank protection), road construction (reinforcement of sub-bases, separation layers), agricultural mulching, and temporary civil engineering applications. Biodegradation occurs over 1-3 years allowing vegetation establishment.
Role
Jute geotextiles offer sustainable alternatives to synthetic geotextiles for temporary applications, sequester 1.5 tonnes CO₂/tonne fibre during growth, improve soil organic carbon by 0.5-1.2% after decomposition, and support green infrastructure projects.
