If you’ve been looking at sustainable shopping bag materials, you may have run across the term ‘juco’, but you might not know what it means. Simply put, juco is a blend of jute and cotton. To understand the benefits of juco bags, you should read about cotton and jute.
Understanding Jute
Jute is an ultra-eco-friendly material since it is a natural fibre that can be grown quickly without pesticides or fertilisers. In fact, it grows fully in as little as four months.
Jute can be utilized in several ways. You can use it for rope, paper, shoes, carpet backing, and more. With the world increasingly interested in sustainable bagging materials, jute has become a popular alternative to plastic. As well as offering eco-friendly credentials, jute is a novel material that gets people talking – it’s also extremely strong.
Understanding Cotton
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll already know all about cotton – after all, it’s the world’s most widely produced natural fibre. Some of the clothes you’re wearing right now are probably made using cotton.
Cotton is popular due to its tight weave, light weight, and breathable texture. Heavier cotton is also extremely durable, and cotton bags take printing well, especially when you’re looking for sharper details.
Understanding Juco
Juco unites the benefits of jute with the benefits of cotton. Usually made using 75% jute and 25% cotton, juco has the tight weave of cotton and the exceptional durability of jute. As a result, you’ll get a bag that’s smooth to the touch, capable of taking finely printed details, and more than capable of standing out and turning heads. Better yet, the blending process is eco-friendly. If you’re looking for branded shopping bags, juco should certainly be near the top of your list.
