How are jute bags made?
The jute fibre is grown on fields and comes from the stem and outer skin of the jute plant. A process call retting harvests the material’s fibres. Retting consists of grouping the steams together and running them under slow running water. Once retting is complete, the non-useful material is removed with only the essential fibres from the jute steam kept. It is a difficult job stripping and finding the crucial fibres.
Is jute better than cotton?
Jute is the second most important fibre extracted from a vegetable. In some applications jute is considered better than cotton. Jute is more environment-friendly than cotton because it needs less water, pesticides, maintenance and fertilisation for it to yield significant crops. Jute is highly sustainable and versatile which makes it an excellent fibre for making our bags.
