Abstract
At the interface of global climatic change, green technologies are most compatible to mitigate, prevent the quantum jump of predominant environment parameters and impart adaptive capacity to face the calamities of climate change, which is a global issue. It demands utilization of biodegradable or eco-friendly products for better survival and perpetuation. Jute and jute based products offers best option as those are biodegradable and non‐toxic in nature. India and Bangladesh produce about 95% of world total jute and these two countries are comparatively low CO2 emitting countries.
