Sustainable environmental geotechnics practices for a green economy

The revitalisation of the global economy after Covid-19 era presents environmental geotechnics with opportunity to reinforce need for a change in paradigm towards green, circular and promote aggressively use development sustainable technologies management practices. This paper aims assist this effort by concentrating on several thematic areas where sustainability solutions future improvements are sought. These include re-entry construction demolition wastes, excavated materials, industrial wastes marine sediments into production cycle reuse existing foundations. Despite recent trend advanced countries recycling waste-to-energy thermal treatment, landfills still constitute most common municipal solid waste practice, especially low-and-middle-income countries, technological improve their footprint hereby presented. At same time, remediation required address multitude contaminated sites worldwide. Advanced developments that incorporate environmental, economic social dimensions expounded authors, together ground improvement infrastructure projects conducted soft weak soils. topic thermo-active geostructures concludes paper, where, apart from utility, these structures have potential contribute renewable energy source.
