Application of Jute
The main use of jute fiber is in the manufacture of mats and twine. This fiber is also widely used in the manufacture of ropes.
To prevent soil erosion from floods, jute mats are a viable option to protect the soil. Such methods are often used after natural vegetation has been established.
Jute fibers are completely biodegradable and natural.
Jute is also used in making clothes and bags.
However, fabrics made from jute fibers are usually very rough and therefore unsuitable for human clothing. It is often used in making bags for storing many products, especially agricultural products.
Jute fibers are also used in making some types of curtains.
Uses of Jute Fiber Some carpets and rugs are made from jute fiber, which is also commonly used for chair covers.
Jute fibers are also used in making burlap. These fibers are also used in linoleum (a type of floor covering). Young trees ready for planting are often planted in containers made of jute fibers. These trees can be planted straight out of the container and directly into the soil.
Jute containers keep the tree’s roots out of the way and also help prevent soil erosion around the tree.
The fibers are also biodegradable and will eventually break down.
Jute fibers are also used to make canvas and carpet backing. The fibers are also commonly used for making scrims and jute.
