What does the term “Rapidly renewable material” mean?
Materials with a harvest cycle of ten years or less.
How long does it take for Jute to grow?
Jute harvests take place once a year, after a growing season of four months (approximately 120 days). With such rapid growth efficiency, there is no need for the growing of the crop to encroach upon wilderness and natural habitat. It also needs little intervention to grow and replenish. Another great benefit of Jute is that it needs less water to grown than many other materials including cotton. It simply relies on natural rainfall for its watering.
Where does Jute to grow?
90% of the world’s jute come from Bangladesh (the likely source of Jute for the ribbons), India also produces Jute as does Scotland!
Why is Jute so sustainable and eco-friendly?
For a few reasons. Because it’s completely biodegradable. It absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen (even faster than trees do). It grows easily without the use of pesticide or fertilizer, even more than that, it can enhance the fertility of the soil it grows in! It As it’s such a natural material it doesn’t release microfiber as synthetic materials can. Therefor reducing the pollution of waterways. It’s fair to say Jute’s one of the world’s most eco-friendly fibres.
What is exactly meant by biodegradable?
Biodegradable refers to a product breaking down into natural elements, carbon dioxide, and water vapor by the organisms in an ecosystem like bacteria and fungi.
How can the jute ribbon be disposed of?
It suggested by Oasis floral products to put it into general waste. However, as we have covered being a biodegradable product it will breakdown naturally. In fact, Jute will disintegrate if fully submerged in water for long periods of time. Getting it wet will encourage the biodegrading process. It can go mouldy when left after getting wet – this is obviously a benefit to have the product degrade naturally.
