Jute mainly grows in eastern India. It has been used as packaging material for different commodities and also to some extent for carpet backing, hessian, decorative fabrics etc. Due to stiff competition from synthetic fibre, it is necessary to find some new uses of jute fibre and its by product. It has been established that jute fibre in the form of caddies, root cuttings, feshwa, gunny and thread waste etc having high percentage of cellulose and long fibre are quite suitable as non-wood plant fibre for manufacture of different grades of paper and paper board, both in large scale as well as in handmade paper mills.
