GREEN & INNOCENT NATURAL JUTE
Jute
Bringing the beauty of nature to durable, reusable bags
with this golden plant fibre.
Jute is a natural fibre that is extracted from jute vegetable
plants by hand. This is done through a process called
retting and it involves the jute stems being bundled
together and immersed in slow running water, then
stripped to remove the non-fibrous matter.
The long, silky fibres can then easily be separated and
combed into long strings which are spun into yarn at jute
mills and later woven in factories to create beautiful
products such as our range of reusable jute bags.
We procure our jute from India, which is the world’s largest
producer of jute, using ethical methods and
environmentally-friendly practices.
1 hectare of jute plant can consume up to
15 tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
