JUTE INDUSTRY IN BANGLADESH

Jute manufacturing sector is one of the oldest traditional manufacturing sectors of Bangladesh,which emerged in 1950s. During the 1960s and 1970s major share of the manufacturing sector innational income and manufacturing employment was accounted for by this sector. Exports of juteand jute goods were the two most important sources of foreign exchange and its contribution inexport during the 1970's was observed nearly "89%" of total.
However, the industry faced a huge challenge in 1980s due to the introduction of Polypropylene andGovt.�s encouragement on these sectors. The popularity of polypore increased gradually for its lowcost and easy production process. The strong practice of Polypropylene and the implementedpolicies by govt. regarding the industry were the reasons for the downfall of this industry in early1990s.
The effects of Polypropylene on the environment and the nature of non-degradability created adanger alarm globally. The negative impacts result Jute as a strong substitute in possible all aspects.
REASONS FOR JUTE BEING A SUBSTITUE

Jute is one of the cheapest natural fibers and the most frequently used after Polypropylene. Theproduct made from jute has a high bio degradability and known as one of the mostEnvironment-friendly source of goods.Around 70% of all waste in oceans and lakes is comprised of plastic, and this forms a major threatto aquatic wildlife. A study by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) showed that only nearly15% of all plastic waste is recycled and rest of them remains in environment which takes nearly 400years for poly/plastic goods to completely degrade.Governments of Australia, Bangladesh, Ireland, Kenya, Rwanda, South Africa, Taiwan, Uganda andmajor cities of the United have also taken successful measures for reducing the use of plastic goodsand thinking forward to stop the use of it.
