Promising future of jute

The use of organic jute based items have become economically as well as environmentally important issues worldwide

The State Minister for Textiles and Jute is reported to have announced a countrywide drive to begin from 15 May - aimed to ensure the use of jute bags for mandatory packaging of 17 items. Moreover, the Minister also instructed the law enforcement agencies to be strict to implement the 'Mandatory Jute Packaging Act-2010' – equipped with legal provisions of jail, fine, cancellation of bank loan and licence. 
The world is getting smaller in terms of clean air that we are supposed to breathe in. Jute stands second to cotton in terms of amount being produced but is also one of the cheapest among natural fibres. Being the leading nation in growing raw jute - if it is not Bangladesh then which country is better suited to initiate big-scale use of jute bags besides implementing the mandatory jute packaging act? In fact, the uses of organic jute based items have become economically as well as environmentally important issues worldwide.
Despite enacting a mandatory law in 2010 on the use of jute bags for packaging foodstuffs, agricultural products and in kitchen markets, the concerned authority is yet to implement the law - allegedly under pressure of certain business groups. Now with the Minister’s firm instruction there shouldn’t be a problem to put it into action. 
The Minister further said, once the law is effectively implemented – an expected demand for 100 crore jute bags will be created each year. It'll also increase the demand of jute and jute products in the local market while reduce pollution caused due to rampant consumption of plastic and polythene. Coupled with the law enforcers the general public too should inspire others to use jute products while reduce dependency on plastic and polythene products. Moreover, the flipside of jute bags are they are reusable.
However, for well over the last decade the main issue that the world has been tackling about is the issue on environmental awareness. Companies, whether big or small have been brainstorming on ideas that could contribute to the effective preservation of our environment. People too, have been trying to adapt the ways that an environmentalist have. Giving back to nature what is rightfully hers. The revival of the ‘golden fibre’ could well begin from this drive, and also we should integrate jute related products in our everyday life.
