Jute is a fibrous material obtained from the bark of the corchrorus plant. This thrives in the natural environment, especially in the humid climate of Southeast Asia and offers with a height of several meters very long stems, which consequently produce a large amount of bast. Centuries ago, the bast fabric of these plants was used in Asia and a first predecessor of today called jute fabric, especially the robust and durable character of the material was appreciated. Jute is a pure natural fiber and thus a 100% biodegradable or recyclable product. For this reason, jute is now grown and processed industrially to a much greater extent, primarily for the production of environmentally friendly textiles. A private processing of jute fibers is rather uncommon in this country, but in industrial production jute plays an important role in Germany as well. Besides garments, it also produces composites and textile aids of all kinds for everyday use. Above all, the material is known by the slogan "jute instead of plastic", which is attributable to the environmental movement in the 1980s and referred to using an ecological carrying bag made of bast fabric instead of a plastic bag.
