East Meets West Seeks Jute Fiber Manufactures in U.S.

The New York-based organization East Meets West is looking for U.S. manufacturers interested in joining several research institutions working on new applications for jute fiber. The program is in support of ongoing efforts by the United Nations Development Program and the Government of India. Experimental uses include the replacement of glass and polymer fibers in a wide range of high-tech manufacturing processes. Contact Anneke van Waesberghe at 212/477-3239, 212/598-9031 (fax).
