Abstract:	Geosynthetics have proven to provide sustainable solutions for geotechnical and geoenvironmental problems when used with natural materials. Therefore, the expected benefits to the environment when geosynthetics are associated with unconventional or alternative construction materials will be even greater. This paper addresses the use of geosynthetics with wasted materials in different applications. The potential uses of alternative materials such as wasted tires, construction and demolition wastes, and plastic bottles are presented and discussed considering results from laboratory and field tests. Combinations of geosynthetics and alternative construction materials applied to reinforced soil structures, drainage systems for landfills, barriers, and stabilisation of embankments on soft grounds are discussed. The results show the feasibility of such combinations, and that they are beneficial to the environment and in line with the increasing trend towards a circular economy and sustainable development.
