RESEARCH 9, SUSTAINABLE STRING

Sustainable string.

1. Jute string: long, soft, shiny vegetable fibre that can be spun into coarse, strong threads. Jute is one of the most affordable natural fibres and is second only to cotton in amount produced and variety of uses of vegetable fibres.

2. Hemp string: The fiber is the most valuable parts of the hemp plant. It is commonly called bast, which refers to the fibers that grow on the outside of the woody interior of the plant's stalk, and under the outer most part (the bark). Bast fibers give the plants strength.The use of hemp for fiber production has declined sharply over the last two centuries, but before the Industrial Revolution, hemp was a popular fiber because it is strong and grows quickly; it produces roughly 10% more fiber than cotton and flax when grown on the same land.
