Abstract

Jute ( Corchorus capsularis L. and Corchorus olitorius L.) is a cash crop of India, Bangladesh and Thailand. Jute stick and caddis are by-products of its processing. These by-products are of little economic importance at the moment, and considerable quantities are wasted annually. The present paper reviews the potential of jute wastes for industrial utilization, such as in the manufacture of pulp and paper, rayon, board, cellulose derivatives and chemicals. Three of these processes have been tested at full-scale mill production.
