Jute, 'The Golden Fibre of Bangladesh' is a versatile, natural fiber that has been used for thousands of years to make various products. By nature 'Jute' is bio degradable and for Nature it is Eco-Friendly! For centuries, jute has been an integral part of Bengali culture and has been cultivated in Bangladesh since ancient times. It is one of the most economical natural fibres and is second only to cotton in amount produced and variety of uses. Diversified jute products are becoming more and more valuable to the modern consumers of today. |

Jute has many advantages as a home textile, either by replacing cotton or blending with it. It is a strong, durable, color and light-fast fibre. Its ultra violet protection, sound and heat insulation, low thermal conduction and anti-static properties make it a wise choice in home dcor. Moreover, fabrics prepared from jute fibres are carbon-dioxide neutral and naturally decomposable. |

Thus jute can also be used in high performance technical textiles. The best part is that jute is the most environment-friendly fibre starting from the seed to expired fibre, as the expired fibres can also be recycled more than once. In December 2006 the General Assembly of the United Nations proclaimed 2009 to be the International Year of Natural Fibres, in order to raise the profile of jute and other natural fibres. While it is still being used extensively around the world, Jute has an enormous potential to be much more popular if its outstanding environmental benefits are considered. Given the increasing focus on environmental issues these days, it is imperative that we start thinking about this issue more seriously! |
