Abstract

Geotextiles are an important part of modern environmental and civil engineering, and they are a fast-growing subset of technical textiles. From the basic raw materials to the final products and their uses, this review covers it all, giving a comprehensive picture of the industry. It investigates the features of natural fibres such as jute and synthetic fibres like polyester and polypropylene and combines important findings on their production methods and main roles, including drainage, stability, strengthening, and filtration. Infrastructure demands and environmental laws are driving the worldwide geotextile market, which is witnessing tremendous expansion. The study also explores this market. This analysis concludes with a summary of recent advances, a discussion of the important issues of sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and long-term durability, and a plan for future research to produce creative and environmentally friendly geotextile solutions.
