Laminated jute bags from jute fabric

Plastic bags have played a significant role in the pollution of the environment. While they are durable, they are not biodegradable which makes them almost impossible to safely dispose of. Researchers and scientists have tirelessly worked to find alternative fibres that can replace not only plastic but other synthetic fibres without as much damage to the environment. Jute, also known as the “golden fibre’ – a natural fibre has provided a reprieve. It’s used to make a variety of items which include sacks, curtains, furniture accessories and rustic looking jute bags. The fibre is made from plants with long, soft and shiny fibres spun into strong but coarse threads. This one of a kind fibre which is second to cotton in terms of production provides an alternative to synthetic fibres and materials like plastic.
