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 and sustainability, often referred to as the "golden fiber".

The renewed interest in sustainable solutions has led to an increased use of jute in packaging, furniture and even fashion. Companies are rediscovering its versatility and environmental benefit, which is causing them to turn to jute. As a natural, biodegradable and renewable resource, jute meets the increasing environmental demands of consumers and companies.

Sustainable properties of jute:

Reusability: Old jute products can be reused to make new goods, minimizing waste and supporting a circular economy.

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.


What are the benefits of jute?

Robustness: Jute's natural strength makes it ideal for use in packaging, including sacks, bags, bags and more.

Economically advantageous: Compared to synthetic materials, jute can be more cost-effective in production and maintenance.

Trend: With its natural and rustic charm, jute has also become a popular choice in interior design and fashion.
