Areca plates are eco-friendly as well as disposable. These plates are the best alternative to plastic/polymer products and paper-based products. These are made from the naturally shredded leaves of the Areca palm trees.
These leaves are simply collected, pressure washed, scrubbed, sun dried and then with heat and pressure they are formed into shaped plates. Palm leaf plates are sustainable and eco-friendly as no tree is harmed to produce them. Only naturally fallen leaves are a raw material in the production.
As palm leaves are biodegradable, they won’t harm the environment or make you feel guilty for throwing them away.
They are made from organic materials, so they will break down easily and can be composted or placed in the trash. These can be used as a perfect eco-friendly plate for parties, events and other special occasions.
Most biodegradable plates are made from bagasse, bamboo, recycled paper, cornstarch, and fallen leaves.
