Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The bags weighing of 46 gm, 50gm, 58gm, 62 gm, 87 gm, 111 gm and 117 gm are produced to use these for shopping bag purposes. The bags weight as well as it strength are increased by using 2 ply yarns in this experiment.For light shopping, the low weight bags can be used. The knitted jute bags can be widely used and it is the best substitute in all respects e.g. strength, longevity and economy. Though its initial cost is higher than polyethylene bag but this can be minimized by its long life.

Keywords: Biodegradable, Jute, Knitting technology, Jute product

Location: Textile Physics Devision

Start Date: 01-01-2000

End Date:

Program Area: Resource Development and Management

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To produce biodegradable and environment friendly jute products as a substitute of polyethylene to save both environment economy

Methodology:

Single yarn and plied (2 ply) yarns are produced in Mechanical Processing Division. In this experiment, 5 lbs/spy, 6 lbs/spy and two ply yarn of count (7.5×2= 15 lbs/spy) were made.By using these yarns different knitted jute bags were made varying its weight, size and structure by 7-Gaug Vee-bed knitting machine. All the properties were studied in testing and Standardization Department of Textile physics Division.

Achievement/Findings:

In this experiment, the bags weighing of 46 gm, 50gm, 58gm, 62 gm, 87 gm, 111 gm and 117 gm are produced to use these for shopping bag purposes. The bags weight as well as it strength are increased by using 2 ply yarns in this experiment.For light shopping, the low weight bags can be used. The knitted jute bags can be widely used and it is the best substitute in all respects e.g. strength, longevity and economy. Though its initial cost is higher than polyethylene bag but this can be minimized by its long life. After all, our golden fibre will survive by widely using this knitted jute goods.
