Sustainable geosynthetics

As a geosynthetics company, the Beaulieu International Group is championing eco-friendly solutions. Jefrem Jennard, Sales Director Fibres, emphasizes their commitment to durable, sustainable materials. “As a materials solution provider at the front end of the value chain, our industry role is to come forward with durable solutions as the whole geosynthetics industry has focused on the sustainable use of geosynthetics in a variety of innovative as well as consolidated applications. ‘Geosynthetics, Leading the Way to a Resilient Planet‘, is a pertinent conference theme which we are proud to support,” he added. BFI offers polypropylene (PP) fibers for nonwoven geotextiles, reducing the carbon footprint by over 25% compared to standard PP fibers, emitting only 1.48 kg CO2 per kg of PP fibers. BFI goes further with ISCC Plus certified bio-attributed MONO-PP, a material with a negative carbon footprint.
