Which are the Benefits of Choosing Jute Bags?

Jute is a vegetable plant whose fibres are dried in long strips, and it’s one of the cheapest natural materials available; together with cotton, it is one of the most frequently used. The plants from which jute is obtained grow mainly in warm and humid regions, such as Bangladesh, China and India.

Since the 17th century, the Western World has been using jute to make textiles like the people of East Bangladesh have for centuries before them. Called “the golden fibre” by the people of the Ganges Delta because of its usefulness and cash value, jute is making a comeback in the West as a fiber useful to agriculture and commerce. When used in the production of grocery bags as an alternative to paper or plastic bags, jute is both one of the most environmentally friendly choices and one of the most cost-effective long term.

Recyclability
Jute is 100% biodegradable (it degrades biologically in 1 to 2 years), low-energy recyclable, and can even be used as compost for the garden. It is clear in terms of reusability and recyclability that jute bags are one of the best options available nowadays. Jute fibers are tougher and more resilient than paper made from wood pulp, and can withstand prolonged exposure to water and weather. They can be reused many times and are thus very environmentally friendly.

Ultimate Benefits of Jute Bags
Today jute is considered one of the best substances for making reusable grocery bags. In addition to jute bags being sturdier, greener, and longer lasting, the jute plant offers many ecological benefits beyond better grocery bags. It can be grown in abundance without the use of pesticides or fertilizers, and it requires less land to cultivate, which means that growing jute preserves more natural habitats and wilderness for other species to flourish.

Best of all, jute absorbs huge amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and when combined with reduced deforestation it may help reduce or reverse global warming. Studies have indeed shown that, one hectare of jute plants can absorb up to 15 tons of carbon dioxide and release 11 tons of oxygen during the jute growing season (about 100 days), which is very good for our environment and planet.
