Abstract
The global concern for environment-friendly products has led to the potential for jute
to make a significant contribution. Unlike Plastic, which emits harmful substances and
greenhouse gases, jute actively cleans the air by absorbing a significant amount of CO2 and
releasing oxygen. Furthermore, many plastic products can be replaced by jute products, which
reduces plastic dependency and eventually drives out harmful plastic products from the market.
Data is collected on production area, yield, and prices of Jute and Plastic products. The study
aims to evaluate the environmental impact of Jute and Plastics and to provide predictions on
prices and the environment, with a specific focus on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, if jute
production increased by 3%. To fulfill this, an analysis of historical trends in the production and
examination of historical trends in the prices of jute and plastic is carried out. To realize this, we
recommend providing affordable saplings to farmers, establishing camps for jute product
manufacturing using the latest technologies, raising awareness of the environmental benefits of
Jute and Jute products, formulating a jute policy, and developing research institutions.
