About the session

Learn more about the transformative role of geosynthetics in sustainable construction across Asia-Pacific (APAC). In this session, Aditi Chitnis, a Carbon & Sustainability Expert at One Click LCA, will be joined by the President of the International Geosynthetics Society (IGS), Sam Allen, and the former co-chair of the IGS Sustainability Committee, Boyd Ramsey, will discuss geosynthetics: what they are, and what the environmental benefits and innovative applications of geotextiles, geomembranes, and their related products and technologies are.

Who should attend this session?

This session is ideal for manufacturers, sustainability consultants, and AEC professionals working in global projects. It will offer a deep dive into sustainable construction practices that are shaping the future of infrastructure in the APAC region.

What key questions will the session cover?

What are geosynthetics?
What are some innovative applications of geosynthetics in sustainable construction practices?
What are the environmental benefits associated with using geosynthetics in infrastructure projects?
What challenges do professionals in the APAC region face when integrating geosynthetics into construction projects, and how can these challenges be overcome?
What are the emerging trends in the use of geosynthetics for sustainable development?

About IGS (International Geosynthetics Society)

The International Geosynthetics Society (IGS) is a learned society dedicated to the scientific and engineering development of geotextiles, geomembranes, related products, and associated technologies. It is a non-profit corporation with over 4,000 members from around the globe including corporate, individual and student members and 45 chapters worldwide. Founded in 1977, the IGS believes that geosynthetics can make a fundamental contribution to meeting societal challenges through sustainable technological and engineering solutions. Geosynthetics make infrastructure more sustainable. They extend the service life of roads, reduce the use of aggregates, conserve and protect water, minimize land disturbance and control soil erosion. Sustainability is at the heart of what we do. IGS publications, events, lectures and research highlight the many ways that geosynthetics contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
