This is how functionality meets extraordinary appearance in our disposable palm tableware. Palm plates will undoubtedly charm your customer and at the same time are fully in line with your ecological beliefs and thinking.

Palm plate - ecology in practice

Our palm plates are a purely natural ecological product . They are produced from fallen betel areca leaves on areca plantations in India as a "by-product" of betel areca processing. Due to the production of our palm tableware and therefore plates, no new plantations are established and no space is created for the existing ones by clearing the rainforest. And where do our palm plates actually come from? Exclusively from the areas of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu in the south of the peninsula. There, rainforests occur from an altitude of about 1,500 m above sea level, and areca plantations are not naturally planted in such areas. The betel nut loses 4 to 7 leaves per year, and if they were not used for the production of palm ware, they would be left to rot on the ground or be burned. Therefore, they are collected, dried, cleaned and then slightly moistened and molded under high pressure at high temperatures in presses. Thanks to this procedure, the palm tableware is strong, resistant to grease and seepage, and of course suitable for contact with food . The palm plate is 100% compostable , exceptional and each piece is unique with the texture of areca leaves.

Palm plates qualify for the BSCI standard - fair production

Today, the production of palm tableware, including palm plates offered by us, creates more than 180 year-round jobs with adequate pay and suitable working conditions. Our partners helped transform a partner company in India from a small family business to a modern operation. The effort to maintain quality means that our partners have completed qualification according to BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative), which formulates the strictest and world-recognized criteria. The essence of the qualification is naturally the repetition of the verification of the entire supply and production chain. Our European partner makes regular trips to India to make sure, independently of the inspection, that the palm tableware, plates and bowls we offer are fairly manufactured.
