Jute is 100% recyclable material that is highly durable and versatile. As a result, it is used to make jute bags. Jute bags are made with tightly woven and sewn jute material to give their free-standing ability, and as a result, many customers use it for shopping bags.

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.

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.

Our jute bags are quite durable. They will easily last up to 4 years with proper maintenance and care. When used appropriately, the bag can replace over 600 disposable bags.

Jute bags are extremely durable and can be reused multiple times before the bag needs to be replaced. On average, it is estimated that one can reuse a “juco” (jute and cotton blend) bag about 19 times. 100% natural jute bags are more durable and can be reused more times.

Jute bags are durable and easy to store. The jute plant and consequently the bags have a low CO2 footprint, making them 100% biodegradable and 100% compostable. Jute bags are extremely strong allowing you to carry more items.
