**5. Conclusions**

Jute needle-punched nonwoven has vast application in different industrial sectors. Proper designing and development of material is needed for particular application. Selection of jute fibre and blended material in specific application makes the needle-punched nonwoven product more useful. Apart from the applications mentioned, there exists ample scope in the development of specific product for air filtration, sound insulation materials, etc., for which specific tests have been recommended. Overall jute-needle-punched nonwoven has wide scope in future industries due to its sustainability in product development. Moreover, nonwoven from jute-based materials has added advantage of environment friendly disposal. This gives jute-based nonwoven a priority over synthetic fibre-based nonwovens.
