  1. Jute is a product, which is not only cheap but also easily available in the market. Jute is an exceptionally strong natural fiber and is biodegradable. Plastics are non-biodegradable items, which takes 400 years to break down. <\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Plastic bags are very popular amongst the retailers and buyers, since they are lightweight, useful, cheap, and strong and are easy to carry things. \u00a0However, plastic bags are not reusable and the huge amount of waste plastic is getting collected which is disposed filling up the land. <\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Plastic bags are manufactured using petroleum which is not a renewable natural resource thus exhausting an important natural resource. In comparison to this, jute bags manufacturing only requires jute which is grown naturally. Thus, it is very clear that jute bags are eco-friendly compared to the plastic bags for helping our natural resources from getting exhausted. <\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Jute bags are long lasting compared to plastic bags because they are reusable, durable and looks good for a longer period. On the other hand poly bags and plastic bags have shorter life and begin losing its shine sooner. Thus a shorter life span implies large number of waste plastic going into bins resulting in deterioration of the environment and health of the living beings. <\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Jute bags take very little time to decompose like just a couple of weeks whereas the decay of plastic bags is done in thousands of years thus littering the environment for a much longer period. So we should make use of jute bags. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
