8" Square Plates

The 8" Square Plates made from Areca palm leaves are an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to conventional plastic, polymer, and paper-based disposable tableware. These plates are part of a broader range of Areca products that are known for their biodegradability and compostable properties, making them an ideal choice for environmentally conscious consumers.

Features and Benefits

Eco-Friendly and Biodegradable: These plates are produced from the shredded leaves of the Areca palm tree, thereby ensuring that no trees are cut down in the process. The use of natural areca leaves makes these products 100% biodegradable and compostable. After use, these plates can be disposed of in a compost heap where they will break down safely without causing harm to the environment.

Sustainable Manufacturing: The production process involves collecting naturally fallen Areca leaves, washing them with water to remove impurities, and then shaping them into plates using heat and pressure. This eco-friendly manufacturing technique eschews the need for chemicals and additional resources, making these plates an even more sustainable option.

Non-Toxic and Safe: Unlike plastic plates that may leach harmful chemicals into food, these Areca palm leaf plates are free from toxic substances. They are non-odorous, ensuring that the natural aroma of the food is not affected, and are hygienic, thus promoting safe and healthy eating practices.
