The best source of jute in the world is the Bengal delta plain, a tropical lowland area with humidity levels of 60 to 90%. Jute is 100% bio-degradable and recyclable. One hectare of jute consumes about 15 tonnes of CO2 and releases 11 tonnes of oxygen. What more could you ask for? #provenance #environment #sustainable…
