Jute, the Golden Fibre, is a gift of nature to mankind. It is a cultivated vegetable fibre annually grown in the Eastern part in the sub-continent of Indian. The fibres obtained from the stalks of the jute plant are dried in the sun, pressed into bales and taken to the factories where it is spun into jute yarn. Jute is biodegradable and therefore environmentally safe. It decomposes and mixes with the soil and does not release toxic gases when burnt or destroyed unlike plastic or polyurethane which do not decompose, hence are to be recycled or destroyed resulting in pollution and waste of natural resources. As other materials like paper & cotton, jute can be recycled also. The jute cloth is then used and sewn into burlap bags.
Introduction of Burlap bags

Burlap is a dense woven fabric, usually made of jute and allied vegetable fibers. It is sometimes called Hessian cloth or sack cloth. It is sown during the rainy season in eastern countries such as India from March to May and harvested from June to September. Non-treated burlap has a light tan color.

The cloth is made in different width and weights, depending upon the use for which it is intended. The bags are tailored for packing goods up to 60 kilograms of weight. These bags serve important purposes especially in geo-based industries and other industries such as construction and cement making. If cleaning is required, dry clean for best results.

7-ounce burlap is a lighter weight material, with fewer threads per square inch than 10-ounce. It is available in plain and treated burlap (nursery applications), in multiple sizes and widths in burlap rolls, bags, and squares.
The nature of this fabric is an uneven weave which gives its unusual effect. Due to its coarse texture, it is rarely used for apparel. However, in some towns in Louisiana, a whip called quoit is made from braiden burlap, with which to lash Mardi Gras participants.
Due to burlaps strength and durability, yet bio-degradability burlap bags can be used for a variety of applications. Some of the more common applications are sand bags, or burlap bags for parts, grain sack races or quality bags with jute draw strings for presentations.


Being eco friendly and biodegradable, hydrocarbon-free jute burlap bags are gaining a lot of popularity the world over for storing food commodities in the most healthy and non-toxic packing. Hydrocarbon-free Burlap is totally free from hydrocarbons and petroleum-based batching oils so as to pack and store agricultural commodities, without any fear of contamination. Food Grade items like cocoa, coffee beans and shelled nuts need natural and non-toxic material to retain their freshness, natural aroma and taste.
