Jute bags are made from the fibers of plants in the genus Corchorus, which are tropical cousins of the European linden or lime tree. The natural fibers are cheap to produce and sometimes referred to as hessian. Jute bags have become increasingly popular in recent years as green alternatives to plastic carrier bags used to carry groceries.
Why Jute Bags?
1. JUTE Bags are eco-friendly.
2. Jute is 100% bio-degradable.
3. Jute is a fast growing crop with a much higher carbon dioxide assimilation rate than trees.
4. Jute production creates much needed employment in poorer regions of the world.
Why No To Plastic Bag
1. Plastic bags are made of polyethylene
2. Polyethylene is a petroleum product
3. Production contributes to air pollution and energy consumption
4. Four to five trillion plastic bags are manufactured each year
5. It takes 1000 years for polyethylene bags to break down
6. As polyethylene breaks down, toxic substances leach into the soil and enter the food chain
7. Approximately 1 billion seabirds and mammals die per year by ingesting plastic bags
8. Plastic bags are often mistaken as food by marine mammals. 100,000 marine mammals die yearly by eating plastic bags.
9. These animals suffer a painful death, the plastic wraps around their intestines or they choke to death
10. Plastic bag choke landfills
11. Plastic bags are carried by the wind into forests, ponds, rivers, and lakes
