Similar to sugarcane bagasse, areca palm leaves are a byproduct of farming. Planted throughout Asia, the areca palm shreds its large leaves every few weeks, providing a sustainable and eco-friendly resource.
Once upon a time these leaves were burned, but now we use them to create plates, bowls and trays. After collection and cleaning, they are heat pressed into their desired shape – and that’s it! No other processing is required! The end result is totally natural tableware, meaning that it’s also home and industrial compost safe.
Strong, semi-flexible (but not brittle) and water and heat resistant, our areca palm products can actually be used to bake (45 minutes at 350º) or even thrown in the microwave for up to two minutes!
To top it off, each leaf has its own natural grain, texture and colour, giving each product its own unique pattern and feel, making for a truly eye catching and beautiful tableware.
