JUTE
Jute is a natural textile fiber made from the jute plant. It gives a relatively rough and very durable fabric that is highly
resistant to abrasion and stains. These characteristics make jute an ideal bag material. Jute fabric is one of the world’s
least expensive textiles and the second most-produced plant-based fiber. When cultivated right jute has an overall
positive impact on the environment and it is biodegradable.
STRAW
Straw material consists of the dry stalks of cereal plants such as wheat, oats, rye, barley and buckwheat. It has several
uses, including fuel, animal beddig and fodder, thatching and basket making. But the most popular items made of
straw are hats. Straw just like any organic material is environmently friendly and biodegradble. As an agricultural by-
product it is also a inexpensive material.
