The increasing focus on reducing embodied carbon in infrastructure projects across the United Kingdom is prompting a shift in material selection within the field of geotechnical engineering. Natural fibre systems are being recognized for their potential to contribute to lower-carbon earthworks design. This trend reflects a broader commitment to sustainability in construction practices, as industry stakeholders seek to minimize the environmental impact of their projects. The integration of these materials is expected to play a significant role in achieving carbon reduction targets in future developments.
