The emergence of geosynthetics changed many aspects of the project and construction of civil and environmental works. Due to the existence of a wide variety of products and the constant advancement in the development and dissemination of new technologies. These materials are applied in different engineering solutions, highlighting the possibility of using recyclable and biodegradable materials and executing geotechnical and environmental works ranging from the control of erosion to the protection of groundwater. In this context, this work presents a literature review on the use of recyclable and biodegradable materials as geosynthetic products, as well as their association with traditional geosynthetics for solutions in engineering works. The review was carried out through the platforms Google Scholar and Portal of Journals of CAPES, using keywords and Boolean connectors as descriptors. It is observed that there is a potential for the use of recyclable and biodegradable materials as geosynthetics. However, there is still a need for a careful assessment concerning the benefits, limitations, and impacts caused by the use of these wastes.
