Woven Geotextiles as most sustainable solution

For a new runway of 160.000m² at Ostend-Bruges Airport, a durable woven geotextile is installed with remarkable impact in CO2 emissions.

Reduced carbon impact comes on multiple levels:

Product: Geotextile Terralys LF 57/57 versus 10 cm Gravel
Raw Material: PP – PET Granulate
Geotextile Type: Woven versus Non-woven

Reduced carbon impact

1. Product: Woven Geotextile Terralys LF 57/57 versus 10 cm Gravel

2. Raw Material: PP – PET Granulate

3. Geotextile Type: Woven versus Non-woven

Only benefits with woven geotextiles

Woven geotextiles versus gravel	PP versus PET raw material	Woven versus Nonwoven geotextile
Significantly less CO2 emissions Minimized transport Reduced use of materials Possibility to reuse soil of the excavation (even if the soil has a poor quality)	Best-in-class polymer in CO2 emission Low environmental impact Durable long life span Non-toxic, no harmful substances Highly resistant to microbiological and chemical degradation	> 50% less virgin material Less weight Less volume, less transport Reduced CO2 emissions
Case Ostend-Bruges: 252.800 kg CO2 savings	Case Ostend-Bruges: 17.9200 kg CO2 savings	Case Ostend-Bruges: 81.600 kg CO2 savings
