Fairly Traded Jute – A Correction

May 13, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Earlier this year, we were lucky enough to have had press coverage regarding our jute and cotton bags.

We would just like to point out there are currently no Fairtrade standards for jute and therefore no Fairtrade certified jute available on the market. Fairly traded jute products do exist however (produced in ethical working conditions) but these do not come under the Fairtrade system and they therefore cannot carry the FAIRTRADE Mark.

There are, however, products available that are made from Fairtrade certified cotton and which carry the FAIRTRADE Mark. It was not our intention to mislead anyone.
