Sustainability

By prioritizing sustainable development, the Bontexgeo Group not only contributes to the global sustainability agenda and the UN Sustainability Development Goals (UN SDG) but also delivers long-term value to our clients and partners. The environmental impact of sourcing and transporting conventional building materials like sand and gravel is significant. Therefore, the Bontexgeo Group takes pride in creating geosynthetics as a durable replacement, which contribute to a more sustainable construction industry. Our products help reduce the consumption of natural resources, cut energy demands and realise CO2 savings. Studies have shown that the substitution of gravel with a geosynthetics based filter layer can lead to a reduction of up to 80% in CO2 emissions.

Other examples include

  • Geosynthetic consolidation layers vs crushed stone drainage blankets
  • Geocomposites for structural drainage vs concrete blocks
  • Fin drains for trackside and carriageway drainage vs french drains

Typically, a CO2 reduction of 50 to 90% can be obtained. One truckload of geosynthetics can replace up to 100 trucks of mineral-based construction materials. This represents a significant economic and environmental advantage. Examples and documentation are available within the group for specific applications and products.

The Bontexgeo Group is committed to minimize environmental impact and promote a greener future.
