Experience the benefits of eco-friendly Jute at Giftex 2012
February 13th, 2012Apart from a wide array of exciting gifting objects for corporate industry, Giftex 2012 is hosting a special pavilion by National Jute Board, courtesy Ministry of Textiles, Government of India. On the eve of this special showcase, here is a quick at the thriving r industry!
Long before the invention of polymeric fibres, natural fibres were spun to make yarns and yarns were woven to make cloth, ropes and similar products. Jute fibres derived from the plant of the same name were in the initial stages used to manufacture sackcloth and hessian principally. Over the years, with the advancement of technology, versatility of jute fibres has been discovered. Jute fibres are now being used not only for making sacks, but for sophisticated textile products for diverse end-uses also. It is a fascinating journey of jute stamping it as one of the oldest surviving agro-industries of the world.
Jute has traditionally been used for packaging, specially sacks. However, the fabric has shown its sheer versatility in modern times, with a range of unique physical attributes that have opened up new avenues for diversification, especially in the light of global concerns for the environment. Jute Geotextiles (JGT) are one aspect of Jute diversification which has proved to be highly effective in addressing soil-related problems in the field of civil engineering.
When they are put to the rest, JGT are very similar in function to the man-made synthetic Geotextiles - which are made from various petro-chemical derivatives. Like synthetics Geotextiles, Jute is used in separation, filtration, drainage and initial reinforcement.
Under these conditions, the biodegradability of JGT helps in the quick regrowth of displaced vegetation by coalescing with the soil, increasing its permeability, retaining the appropriate humidity as “mulch” and creating a micro-climate that is conducive to vegetative growth. Around the world JGT has been lauded as the most acclaimed natural fabric that provides biotechnical solutions to soil made vulnerable by exposure.
