Improvement of soil using biopolymers has attracted significant interest in current years. The use of conventional improvement methods like cement, lime, etc. has a potential impact on the environment. In recent days, attempts are made to contribute to sustainable development in geotechnical engineering. One such method is stabilization using biopolymer. The present paper aims to provide an overview of the assessment of biopolymers-treated soil as a binder in soil improvement, and the properties of soil treated with biopolymers. To assess the geotechnical properties of biopolymer-based soil, the treated soil needs to be subjected to different types of tests to evaluate its characteristics and its performance.

Key Words: Biopolymer, Sustainable, Stabilization, Geotechnical properties.
