Jute Caddies

Jute caddies, the unspinnable short fibres are generated by the jute mill looms. These are actually thread waste and generally free from foreign particles. Jute caddies, being economical, have found its usage in diverse industries.

Some of the uses of caddies are following: 1. Roof insulation for light and heavy vehicles 2. Blanket for animal 3. Seating cushion 4. Electric wire 5. Insulation for home

Jute caddies (jute mill waste) can be used as a cellulosic raw material for production of biogas with the residual slurry for making manure. The non-wovens made out of jute caddies can replace glass fibre as reinforcing material in composites for making various utility items. It can be converted into biomass energy through briquetting and gasification after mixing with other agro-residues. Hand made paper for various applications can be prepared from jute caddies after scouring. The study reviews the potential application of jute caddies through different value addition techniques, highlighting the spectacular progress made in the research and development on this industrial biomass in recent years.
