Jute Not Plastic

Plastic Bags are slow to decompose and cause irrepairable harm
to wild-life. Plastic manufacturing uses valuable mineral
resources and also has a negative impact on carbon emissions.
Billions of plastic bags are used once and thrown away.
Destruction of plastic releases benzene - a known carcinogen.
However plastic bag pollution is a threat to our ecosystems that
we can do something about.

Say no to plastic bags!

In the time
it takes you to read this 3 million plastic bags will have been
produced on this planet. That equates to 500 billion plastic bags
a year consuming 60 million barrels of oil to manufacture
them.


In the UK alone we use 150 million plastic bags per week, the
majority of which end up on landfill sites or being burnt,
which releases a plethora of toxic chemicals into the air. Only
1 in every 200 bags is recycled and this requires energy and
resources to collect and process the bags. The alternative is as
simple as it is environmentally sound – Use an Eco bag..

Made of jute these bags are strong, spacious and long
lasting.
A person’s use of a plastic check-out bag can be
counted in minutes – however long it takes to get from
the shops to their homes. Plastic bags however, can take
between 15 and 1000 years to break down in the
environment.

Say NO to plastic bags!

JUTE Bags are eco-friendly.
Jute is 100%
bio-degradable.
Jute is a fast growing crop with a
much higher carbon dioxide
assimilation rate than
trees.
Jute production creates much needed
employment in poorer
regions of the world.

Jute bags are strong, trendy and reusable.
Choosing
a Jute bag (and reusing it) is an effective way
you can help our environment
- Abundant
availability – a renewable and sustainable
resource
- Durable material – has the life span of
over a thousand plastic carrier bags

- Jute is a natural bast fibre, a vegetable fibre composed of
cellulose which is the main building material of all
plants, like all natural fibres jute is totally
biodegradeable. Bast fibre grows the entire length of
the plant stalk from roots to tip. Groups of fibres are
contained in the pithy layer between the thin outer
bark and the woody core.

- When discarded, jutetotally decomposes putting valuable nutrients back
into the soil.
- Environmentally friendly – non
pollutant, produces non toxic gases or harmful gases
by product.
- Jute industry supports an estimated 5
million people in the poorest regions on earth.
- One
hectare of Jute plants consumes over 15 tonnes of
CO2, several times higher than trees.
