Made of naturally-fallen Areca Nut leaves from Southern India, Areca trees have large leaves, or fronds, which shed and fall to the ground every few weeks. These leaves are usually collected and burned. Our Areca Nut Leaf range turns these leaves into disposable plates, bowls, platters. A strong, semi flexible, yet not brittle, odourless, water and heat resistant leaf, this product has its own natural grains, characteristic texture and colour. Each one is unique. The leaves are sorted, washed and heat pressed into a variety of shapes such as bowls, plates and platters, UV-sterilized and packed.
