1. Are Areca palm leaf products truly sustainable?
Yes! Our tableware is made from naturally fallen Areca palm leaves—no trees are ever cut down. Each Areca tree naturally sheds several leaves throughout the year, making it a highly renewable and eco-friendly resource. We also proudly support ethical sourcing by partnering with women-led initiatives and rural communities in South India, contributing to fair trade and environmental responsibility.
2. Are any chemicals used during the production process?
Not at all. Our palm leaf products are made using a simple, clean process that involves only water and heat. No chemicals, coatings, waxes, or additives are applied at any stage—resulting in 100% natural and food-safe tableware.
3. Do the plates have any added fragrance or smell?
No artificial scents or fragrances are added. What you may notice is a light, natural aroma that comes directly from the Areca leaf itself. It’s part of the natural charm and purity of our products.
4. Why do the plates vary in appearance?
Each plate is uniquely crafted from a real, naturally fallen palm leaf. Because no two leaves are the same, you may notice slight variations in colour, texture, or grain pattern. These differences are not flaws—they’re what make each piece truly one of a kind.
5. Can I use the plates in the microwave, oven, or fridge?
Yes! Our palm leaf plates are microwave-safe (up to 2 minutes at 800W) and can be used in the oven for up to 30 minutes at 180°C. They’re also fridge- and freezer-friendly, making them suitable for both hot and cold meals.
6. How strong are palm leaf plates compared to other disposables?
Palm leaf plates are significantly stronger than paper, bagasse, or foam alternatives. They can comfortably hold heavy meals without bending, sagging, or leaking—making them ideal for outdoor events, catering, and food businesses.
7. How should I dispose of the plates after use?
Our plates are 100% biodegradable and compostable. Simply place them in a home compost bin, garden waste, or food waste collection. They will break down naturally within 6–8 weeks, depending on conditions—leaving behind nutrient-rich compost with no toxic residue.
8. Can these plates be reused?
While designed for single use, they can be gently rinsed and reused after serving dry or non-greasy foods. If you plan to reuse them, avoid soaking and use mild cleaning methods like a damp cloth or warm water rinse.
Yes, they are completely non-toxic and chemical-free, making them safe for all ages—including young children and pets. Since they contain no harmful coatings or plastics, you can serve food with peace of mind.
Not at all. Our plates and bowls are made from natural Areca leaves, which do not alter the flavor or aroma of your food. They simply provide a clean, earthy presentation that enhances your eco-friendly experience.
11. Can I use these plates for oily or saucy foods?
Yes! Despite being natural, these plates are remarkably sturdy and leak-resistant, making them suitable for oily, saucy, or even mildly liquid dishes. They hold up well without getting soggy or falling apart.
12. How should I store unused palm leaf tableware?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from moisture or direct sunlight. Because they’re made from natural materials, keeping them dry will maintain their shape and strength for long-term use.

We offer a variety of plates, bowls, trays, and cutlery in different sizes and shapes to suit all occasions—from small snacks and desserts to full meals. Perfect for home use, parties, weddings, and events.
20. Why is composting better than recycling when it comes to disposables?
Composting allows our products to return to the earth naturally, without the need for industrial recycling processes that often still generate waste and emissions. Unlike plastic, our palm leaf plates break down in 6–8 weeks, enriching the soil rather than polluting it.
