Jute
What is Jute?
Jute is a long, soft and shiny fiber that can be spun into coarse, strong threads. It is harvested from the jute plant and has historically served as one of the primary components in rope and fabric production.
With its roots in South Asia, where it has been cultivated for more than 5,000 years, jute has always been valued for its robustness, often referred to as the "golden fiber".
Properties of jute:

Environmental footprint: As a fast-growing plant with little need for pesticides or irrigation, jute has a markedly low carbon footprint.
Resource efficiency: Jute absorbs a large amount of CO2 and improves soil fertility, contributing to a healthy agricultural cycle.
