SONALI

About: 

• It has been developed by the state-run Bangladesh Jute Mills Corporation (BJMC).
  
  
• The physical qualities of the invented jute fibre and plastic are quite similar.
  
  
• The Eco-friendly jute poly bags made up of Sonali can be used in garments and food packaging work and they are not harmful for human health.
  
  
• The commercial production of these bags is likely to start by the year-end.
  
  
• The main challenge in the large scale adoption of Sonali sheet is the relatively high cost of production which is almost double that of polythene. However, production on a large scale is expected to bring down the cost.
