You can simply put it in backyard composting bins. In the absence of home compost bins, our palm leaf plates can be disposed off in regular trash or food waste bins, as they will decompose naturally in a landfill.

No trees are cut down during the process. An areca palm leaf tree sheds about eight times a year, making it sustainable and renewable resource. We have proudly partnered up with local start ups across 3 states in South India, who employ majority rural female workers. Being a company led by She/Her/Hers, Eco Leaf Products strongly believe in female empowerment.

Our products are very sturdy and can even be used for serving full meals! This makes them an ideal choice for sit down meal, or buffet to be held in the hand. Palm leaf plates are much stronger than bagasse or paper or plastic plates.

Although made and intended for one-time use, there is nothing stopping you from re-using palm leaf plates/bowls, especially after dry food consumption. When used for non-sticky/non-curry type food, the plates and bowls can simply be wiped clean or washed with warm water.
