The tradition of eating off the leaves has existed from the very start of human civilisation and using leaves for wrapping, cooking, eating has been an indispensable part of every society. In fact studies have suggested that eating off the leaves releases natural anti-oxidants making it healthier for us. The making of these palm leaf plates is just reviving that tradition plus it helps rural communities specially women, empowering them to become self-sufficient.

Plastic pollution has become the biggest environmental crisis of our times. It's a monster that if we don't stop may lead to our end. Millions of animals are killed by plastics every year, from birds to fish to other marine organisms. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by plastics. Nearly every species of seabird eats plastics.

Our oceans are currently swimming with plastics. It is estimated that there are now 150 million metric tons of plastic in the ocean. We add another 8 million tons each year – that’s about five grocery bags full of plastic waste on every foot of shoreline around the world, according to a recent study. It has been projected that, if current trends continue, by 2050 the plastic in the ocean will outweigh the fish.

Make the switch today and help combat the plastic pollution problem.

Does not require commercial/industrial composting process.

Can be composted in ground or any type of compost bin.

PACKAGING:
The Leaf Tableware comes in soft plastic packaging and we have partnered with Redcycle for recycling solution.

Being Leaves, this tableware absorbs moisture from the environment thereby getting mouldy. Some alternatives we tried didn't solve the problem.

We believe packaging is seller's responsibility and so is finding the solution for it's end of life. This recycling solution with Redcycle is not the perfect answer to this plastic packaging problem but only an interim solution till we find the best zero-waste sustainable solution.

Customers can take the soft plastic to various collection bins located at Coles & Woolworths nationwide, where they are collected and recycled into utility products.
