Abstract

Jute is one of the most commonly available and widely used fibers in packaging industries. It is widely used fiber because of its soft and silky nature. It has the ability to blend with other fibers makes it widely competent in packaging apart from cotton, the most widely used fiber. Jute wastes are nowadays quite a serious concern for many industries and proper utilization of these waste have not been done. In this paper, it has been attempted to blend jute fibers with coir fibers and form a Jute Coir composite in a Double Head 2 ply cir yarn spinning machine and tested for its tensile strength.
