The Areca tree, which is found in India, naturally sheds its leaves throughout the year. Instead of rotting on the ground, these fallen leaves are collected, pressure washed, scrubbed, sun dried, formed and then sterilized to produce a completely natural plate! This process involves no cutting down of trees. Because each leaf is all natural, the plates vary between white and pearl colors, to light beige and brown. All our eco friendly plates are created in a safe and hygienic workplace. Besides helping our environment, the process of making these plates provides much needed work to villagers in India, who have very little source of income.
