  Introduction: In a bid to attract entrepreneurs and boost the textile industry, the Bangladesh Jute Mill Corporation (BJMC) has implemented significant changes in the lease policy for state-owned jute mills. Recognizing the lack of interest from investors in jute production alone, BJMC has expanded the scope to include textile manufacturing. The revised policy allows private sector entrepreneurs to lease jute mills for a period of 30 years, offering opportunities for both jute and textile production. This blog explores the recent developments, challenges, and potential impact on Bangladesh's jute and textile sectors. The Need for Change: Due to a lack of response from entrepreneurs, the BJMC decided to modify its lease policy for state-owned jute mills. Previously, only jute or jute products were allowed to be produced, with a lease term of 20 years.

Introduction: Elastomeric fibers play a crucial role in creating garments that provide comfort, stretch, and shape retention. These synthetic fibers possess remarkable elasticity and can quickly recover their original shape after being stretched. In this article, we will explore the types, properties, and diverse applications of elastomeric fibers. What are Elastomeric Fibers? Elastomeric fibers are synthetic fibers that exhibit high extensibility and rapid recovery. These fibers can stretch up to seven times their original length and bounce back to their initial state without relying on being crimped or coiled. They are predominantly made of segmented polyurethane, with a minimum composition of 85% in most cases. Elastomeric fibers are known by various names such as Spandex in the United States and Lycra in Europe. Other types of elastomeric fibers include elastodiene fibers, elastomultiester fibers, and certain polyolefin fibers, although they are commercially less significant compar
