Mission & Goals
The EAGM represents the interests of European producers of geosynthetics. Geosynthetics are products made predominantly from polymeric materials. These innovative, sustainable, long-lasting and particularly efficient plastic products are primarily used in the construction industry. In many applications, geosynthetics can conserve natural resources such as clay, sand, gravel or water, and be used to extend the life of other materials and significantly reduce CO2 emissions. They thus contribute significantly to the Green Deal objectives of the EU.
