Why Do We Prefer Jute Bags Over Plastic Bags?

Instead of following the “go green” code, many people have started saying a “no” to plastics. But many people are still using it. Plastic bags may be cheap and readily available, but they harm the environment and is a drawback for our planet Earth.

Though the wind of going green and saving the planet has started worldwide, we have to be really careful and should adhere to the rules strictly. We should start using biodegradable products instead of non-biodegradable products. One should use cloth bags and jute bags instead of those plastic carriers that cause harm to our environment. So here is a comparison of jute carry bags and plastic carriers.

The natural factor Jute bags are made from natural fibres and are easily available in stores whereas a plastic carrier bag is made from artificial fibres. Plastic carriers lend a hand in contributing towards environmental pollution. So, one should always prefer using a jute carry bag to save the environment.

Sturdiness Jute is a strong and sturdy fibre, and a large jute bag is enough to hold your cumbersome and durable goods. Plastic carriers are not sturdy enough to hold your heavy stuff. Jute carriers are more durable in comparison to plastic carriers.

Long lasting services Yes, I accept that plastic carrier is readily available in the market. Whenever you go out for shopping, you return with a plastic carrier, and you may have piled many bags in your store. A plastic bag can’t be used more than twice or thrice, and ultimately they search their pathway to a dustbin. But on the other hand, a jute carrier can be used again and again and can give you long lasting services.

Depletion of sources For making plastic carriers tonnes of petrol are used and thus contribute to the depletion of the energy sources whereas no such power sources are used for making jute carry bags. Jute can be simply cultivated in farms and can be used for making small jute bags. Cultivation of jute doesn’t require huge space and needs fewer water requirements. So, jute is one of the most eco-friendly alternatives in place of plastic bags.

Jute- a Biodegradable substance Jute sacks are biodegradable, and when they are destroyed or burnt, they can easily degrade without harming the environment and without causing any ill effects to the environment. If a plastic bag is burnt, then it doesn’t biodegrade and in turn, causes harm to our natural environment thus contributing to the pollution of our planet Earth.
