jute

Coarse cordage material

Jute is a plant fiber used to make coarse, strong materials like burlap, rope, and twine.

The fiber comes from plants native to South Asia, where most jute is still produced.

Jute sacks and bags are common for shipping agricultural products: coffee beans in jute bags.

The material is rough but durable and biodegradable.
