Broadly, jute can be classified into three varieties: Tossa Jute (Corchorus olitorius), White Jute (Corchorus capsularis) and Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus).

Jute is increasingly used in horticulture, construction and civil works, home décor, fashion and lifestyle, food packaging, sports, and other industries. It is a natural, sturdy alternative to synthetic fibres, and is often preferred for its biodegradable nature.

As a biodegradable fibre, jute has a smaller carbon footprint than plastic. Plastic is non-biodegradable and remains in the environment for a much longer period, polluting water and the soil. Jute, apart from being eco-friendly, has a silky lustre with high tensile strength and low extensibility. It also has heat- and fire-retardant properties.

Natural jute is golden-brown in colour, but it can be dyed into different colours depending on your requirements and design choices.
