<b>These tough, coarsely-woven burlap bags</b> can be used for so many different applications like storing heavy materials to sack racing with kids. Grown from jute plants, burlap bags are 100% biodegradable, meaning that they decompose on their own. This reduces wastes in our landfills and provides an environmentally friendly solution. To reduce the smell of burlap, air the bags out for 48 hours.
