Abstract
The coarse ropes designed for production of innovative protective geotextiles were obtained. For the production of ropes textile wastes were used. The ropes made from different materials were buried in the soil for six months. The mechanical parameters of materials forming the sheath and cover of the ropes before and after ground disposal were measured and morphology of the ropes were analysed. It was revealed that jute fabrics used as rope covers as well as sisal and cotton twine used for the formation of outer sheath degrade quickly. Cellulosic materials do not ensure the mechanical integrity of the ropes after ground disposal and are not suitable for the production thereof. On contrary, the wool nonwoven and nonwoven produced from recycled fibres biodegrade much slower. Despite of the degradation of outer sheath the ropes keep their integrity and may maintain their protective function in the ground for several months.
