The plates are made from palm leaves, which are harvested after the tree sheds them – no trees are cut down to make them. And while they are plant based, they feel as strong as a good weight plastic disposable plate – but with the benefit of being biodegradable and compostable. Not to mention their sleek design, kind of a bowl and plate combined so that nothing falls of your plate while you balance it on your lap at your next picnic.
