How Fibres are extracted from Jute Plant ?

The Gangetic Plain in the Indian Subcontinent with alluvial soil and abundant monsoonic rainfall, is the ideal location for growth of Jute, the Golden Fibre. Green Plant is dipped in  ponds or rivers and retained there for about 2 weeks. This loosens the fibre from the pith and also removes the thin skin from its surface.Fibre is peeled out and cleaned by shaking in water. It is then dried in sun on poles and made into bundles. Fibre is graded according to quality, made into "morahs" and then baled for transportation.

REDEEMING FEATURES OF JUTE :

• Bio-degradable jute deteriorates organically, replenishing the earth with productive invaluable nutrients.
• Environmentally friendly jute is non-pollutant.
  It produces no toxic gases or harmful gases as bye products.
• It beautifies the earth with vegetation, prevent further erosion and climatic change when used as soil saver.
• Jute is almost the perfect eco-system.
• Jute is preferred to other backing substitute materials (polypropylene, latex foam, polyurethane foam).
• The burning behaviour of substitutes favour jute.
• The relative toxicity levels of substitutes favour jute
• Jute packages have long durability.
• Repeated usage of jute packaging reduces expenses; making recycling cost effective.
• Jute naturally protects perishable goods during storage, reducing product losses and prolonging storage life.
• Jute is one of the most versatile natural fibres with renewable resource having applications in packaging, textiles and non-textile sectors.
• Hydrocarbon Free JuteBag are now being considered as the perfect medium for packing of Foodgrade items like Cocoa & Coffee Beans, shelled Nuts, etc.
• Used as Geo-Textile in road construction, river bank protection, land slides control, canal lining, shallow land recovery, railway slope protection, etc.
