Aims & scope

Journal of Sustainable Geosynthetics (JSG) aims to:

  • Promote the design, development, and application of geosynthetics that support environmental sustainability and green engineering principles;
  • Facilitate knowledge exchange in sustainable materials science, ground improvement technologies, and geotechnical system resilience;
  • Advance understanding of the environmental lifecycle, recyclability, and performance durability of geosynthetic materials;
  • Serve as a global forum connecting material scientists, civil engineers, geotechnical researchers, and environmental professionals working at the interface of geosynthetics and sustainability.
