New LCA on Waterways available on EAGM website.
A comparative life cycle assessment of geosynthetics versus conventional construction materials, filter function in a river construction is now available on the EAGM website. The conclusions are: 1: Overall, the geosynthetic alternative causes between 10% and 50% less ecological impacts than the gravel/sand alternative 2: Greenhouse gas emissions are reduced by 12 to 26% through the use of geosynthetics 3: The cumulative energy requirement is reduced by 13% to 28% through the use of geosynthetics More information can be found on the EAGM website at Case 5 Water Ways | EAGM
