Description
We love these for a festive party. Quirky, biodegradable, practical and with a great story. Say goodbye to plastic plates with these 100% sustainable, compostable leaf plates.
Made from a double layer of Saa leaves these plates are commonly used in the streets of India to serve curries and snacks.This really is a plate that you can dispose of with a clear conscience.
No landfill here, the plates will disappear to absolutely nothing. A great talking point for parties too.
