Frequently Asked Questions

Why are my Leaf plates wrapped in plastic?
The leaf plates are wrapped in plastic to provide a protective barrier. As leaves naturally absorb moisture from the environment, the plastic wrapping helps prevent them from getting damaged or compromised. This protective measure ensures the plates remain in good condition until they are ready for use.

What are Palm Leaf Plates and Tableware?

Palm leaf plates and tableware are crafted from the naturally fallen leaves of the Areca Palm, also known as the Betel-Nut palm.


How Sustainable & Eco-friendly is the Palm Leaf Tableware?
Our leaf tableware is produced using leaves that naturally fall, with no trees being cut down in the process. An Areca Palm tree sheds around eight leaves annually, emphasizing its sustainability as a renewable resource.
During the manufacturing process, no chemicals, sealants, or binding agents are utilized. The shaping is achieved solely through the application of heat and water, preserving the natural qualities of the product.

Is natural palm leaf tableware compostable?
Certainly! Natural palm leaf tableware is fully compostable, suitable for your backyard compost bin. You can also use it as beneficial mulch on the soil. Classified as brown waste, it adds valuable nitrogen to the ground. The convenience is that you don't need a commercial composting facility to decompose it effectively.

How long does it take for Palm Leaf Plates and Tableware to break down and compost?
Like all organic matter, the decomposition duration depends on various factors such as the composting process, humidity, heat, etc. It may take 6-8 weeks to completely break down, varying with the time of the year.
At the end of its life cycle, like all organic matter, it will break down entirely without leaving any residue behind.
