• Geotextiles are primarily the permeable fabrics
  used in association with soil, increasing the
  ability to filter, separate and reinforce, drain,
  or protect. To enhance the strengths and increase
  durability, needle punched staple fiber
  manufacturing technique is produced which
  increases survivability. There has been renewed
  focus on the use of natural fibers like Jute as a
  geotextile for underlaying the rural roads and
  for soil erosion control.
• India is one of the largest producers of natural
  fibers and their use in geotextiles has led to
  overall cost savings and good technical results.
• Geotextile could be a synthetic material such as
  Jute, Polyester, Polypropylene, and others, is
  also used with soil, rock, and other geographical
  engineering-related material and is called
  geosynthetics. In the making of roads, in
  particular, these are used in high-standard
  all-season roads. Geotextiles extend the service
  like roads, incrand ease their load-carrying
  capacity. These Geotextile products have a wide
  range of applications and are currently used to
  advantage in many civil engineering applications
  including roads, railroads, embankments,
  retaining, structures, reservoirs, canals, dams,
  bank protection, and coastal engineering.

Here are some of the primary uses of Geotextiles,
namely

• Stabilization or Separation
• Drainage
• Soil Erosion Control
• Reinforcement

• Soil erosion is one form of soil degradation and
  a naturally occurring process on all lands.
  Hilly, deserts and coastal regions are more prone
  to severe soil erosion making them severely
  vulnerable. In hilly areas, the phenomenon of
  natural slope, hilly and coastal regions are
  severely vulnerable to it. Since it is a
  relatively slow process that goes unnoticed and
  occurs at an alarming rate causing serious loss
  of topsoil followed by land sliding. There is a
  serious loss of lives, livestock and
  infrastructure, houses, markets and structures
  due to this vulnerable soil. This clearly shows
  that the economic consequences of erosion are
  also becoming severe.

Data Statistics

• Globally, there are economies that have
  formulated clear guidelines for the
  implementation the technical textiles in their
  usages in specific applications. Our Government
  is also in the process of firming up guidelines
  and standards and specifications to use
  geo-textiles products and projects where they are
  used. Also, state Governments and Governments
  across nations have their own concessions on
  several features to invite investment and
  entrepreneurs in this field.

Natural Geotextiles Gaining Popularity

• Natural fibres such as jute and sisal are being
  in vogue into geotextile fibres in environmental
  protection projects. Jute is gaining immense
  popularity especially in Australia and other
  nations rather than the polymers in areas where
  their biodegradation is required while enabling
  seedling protection for hill slope protection.  
•  Geo-synthetics are gaining popularity across the
  world in the waste management industry as they
  offer isolation and protection prevent leakage
  to the surrounding soil substrate. It goes
  without saying that geotechnical textiles are
  poised to command a big domestic market as more
  and more methods are utilized to make it popular.

Global Market Development

• The U.S. remains number one for geotextiles. Asia
  is comparable and followed by Europe and South
  America. In all these markets it is important to
  look at the specifics of demand in particular
  national areas, barriers and distribution. It is
  always important to pursue detailed market
  research covering markets now rather than in the
  past.

THE EXPECTATIONS

• At present, the expectation is that the current
  markets will continue to grow, and new emerging
  trends will offer long-term potential in addition
  to current markets. As for Jute Felt for
  geotextiles, there is a wide range of scope for
  use of existing products in road construction,
  golf courses, embankments, and other landscaping.
     
• Jute Felt from PARK is a fabric of matted,
  compressed jute Fibers and sometimes mixed with
  Fibers. Jute Felt is extremely popular and
  rigorously being increasingly used as an
  industrial good, especially for insulation and
  Acoustic. These Jute felts are completely
  Biodegradable and strong products and degrade
  without leaving harmful traces. The Jute felt
  absorbs moistures, up to 5 times its own weight,
  which is useful for plantation, and landscaping
  in dry periods.
