Buying tips

## Buy it with confidence.

What experienced buyers put in the RFQ and check on arrival.

  * State GSM, weave and any lamination for jute bags; laminated bags are not fully biodegradable.
  * Ask for moisture content and fumigation certificates for coir and bamboo.
  * Approve print colours on the actual jute or coir base, because texture changes how colour looks.

### Where are jute bags made in India?

The Hooghly belt around Kolkata in West Bengal is India's main jute centre, with mills and bag makers supplying promotional, retail and wine bags.

### Where does coir come from?

Coir is made from coconut husk fibre. Alappuzha in Kerala is India's leading centre for coir mats and matting, and Tamil Nadu is also a large producer.

### Are jute bags eco-friendly?

Unlaminated jute is renewable and biodegradable. Laminated or PVC-backed versions last longer but are harder to recycle.
