Environmental Adaptability of Green Geosynthetics as Sustainable Materials for Civil Engineering Applications
The development of green geosynthetics, its background and technical concerns, are discussed using research results on polylactic acid (PLA) samples. A test method to evaluate biodegradability of PLA as a green geosynthetic is considered and suggested. The results show that the concept of biodegradability of green geosynthetics is applicable for many environmental applications. As a raw material for green geosynthetics, PLA 4032D (NatureWorks LLC)/PBAT (polybutylene adipate-co-terephthalate, BASF) (80/20) blend shows improvement of environmental performance as a green geosynthetic over that of PLA 4032D alone.
