Hi everyone,

What would be the difference in carbon footprint between Jute bags(burlap) and PP or NWPP bags ?

Can anyone supply scientific calculation or statistics on this matter ?

Trying to convince buyers to design jute bags instead of PP as a sustainable bag.

Thanks for your answers and tips.
