Our product is made out of fallen leaves which are of no use in general.
So, this usage gives our product its uniqueness. If these leaves are not
used, it simply decomposes or being thrown into pit. We collect these
fallen leaves and mould them to be used as dinnerware. The best,
elegant looking dinnerware which is eco-friendly too. After one use, it
can be dumped into a pit which decomposes itself in 7-10 days.
Our products are 100% natural, biodegradable, compostable, oven safe,
water-resistant, refrigerator safe and can hold both types of liquids hot
& cold. Since no food or liquid reacts when in use is the best attribute of
the product.
Areca leaf products are safe in all Microbiological Testing (like Plate
