This study explores a sustainable solution for creating water-repellent jute fabrics, aimed at replacing plastic-based shopping bags. After subjecting jute to a mixture of the agents NUVA N2114 (a waterrepellent agent), Acetic Acid, and Arkophob DAN (as a fixer), we have managed to come up with a fabric that repellent water preserving natural texture. The fabrics after the treatment passed the spraying with good results thus offering a great prospect in the realistic application of the concept of the ecologically friendly textile products. Besides enhancing the application of jute, the work also fosters local farming and green options in the global material sector. It is a small step toward greener choices, using the strength of natural fibres to meet modern needs.
