We are proud to bring you our range of natural, sustainable plates and bowls, made from the fallen leaves of the areca palm tree. \nThese 100% biodegradable plates and bowls are durable, lightweight and require minimal processing from tree to table. \n¥ Êthe fallen palm leaf is gathered (it is not cut Ð only the fallen leaves are suitable) \n¥ Êit is then washed in spring water \n¥ then heat-pressed into shape (this also sterilises the leaf) Ð no chemicals, waxes, dyes or additives are used \nPalm Leaf Plates are a stylish and unique alternative to other disposable tableware on the market. \n¥ Stronger and more natural than corn or potato starch, sugar cane, paper & bamboo plates \n¥ They wonÕt harm our environment and can be burnt, taken to a landfill or composted \n¥ Microwave-, oven- and refrigerator-safe. DonÕt try this with other disposable plates! \nThis cottage industry provides a source of income for many families in South Asia, making Palm Leaf Plates a responsible decision for your family, their families, and our environment. \nWhat better way of utilizing natureÕs gift of fallen leaves! This is truly natureÕs tableware.MICROWAVE SAFE \nFREEZER SAFE \nOVEN SAFE \nCAN BE USED FOR HOT FOOD/LIQUID \nBIODEGRADABLE \n100% NATURAL \nNO CHEMICALS/TOXINS USED \nCOMPOSTABLE
