Our Solution

Forget Polythene & Use Jute Polymer

Tagline

Saving the land surface from being polluted by Polythene

Pitch us on your solution

1: We are using polythene in many places like in market including book, vegetables, clothes so on.These polythene are not reserved in one and specific place, so it is causes surface pollution.

2: We can use Jute polymer in places of polythene.

3: Bangladesh is a poor country, and many young people are staying jobless. If Some industry could be construct what positive changes will occur I mention below -

>More workplaces for unemployed persons

>A good earnings for workers

>Saving the land surface

>No need to buy frequently carrying bag

>using internal product

>Earning by export those bag

and so on.

What is the problem you are solving?

Bangladesh is a agricultural-based country. But anywhere the putting polythene are creating more pollution and barren their cultivation land. So by this project all the farmer communities can be benefitted.

All farmer communities around the our country they are affected.

If the polythene we can diminish totally from our country then our farmers could be able to produce their granary more and more.And this product also eco friendly.

Who are you serving?

The problem is facing the farmers but we are living in the urban areas we are not conscious about it. By producing polymer one industry can capture all the people of this country.

In one polymer bag, there are some small sections that where the users can store their things. And this bag is more sustained than polythene. For this reason one can carrying more than a polythene by using the jute polymer. This bag they can use almost three times, so it is cost effective.

What is your solution?

Jute Polymer bag it will be served to the population over all around the country. And Bangladesh is a huge potential market place for this innovative product.

Jute is a kind of plant, but from this plant we get roof. Besides this roof a Bangladeshi scientist invent that from this jute it is possible to make polymer bag.The name of scientist Dr Mubarak said for producing the polymer, first cellulose is extracted from jute fibre. The cellulose undergoes surface modification to induce water solubility. Then it is blended with biodegradable binder and dissolved in warm water to make a viscous solution.

Finally, the polymer solution is poured in a casting tray and allowed to air dry at 40 degrees Celsius and 40 percent relative humidity.

But the limitation that production cost is high and the machine which need to make polymer not enough at hand at present.
