Dinnerware doesn’t get any greener than this.
German-based company Leaf Republic has started manufacturing and selling disposable plates made out of leaves from Eastern Asia.
Not only are the waterproof plates made without any glue or additives, but they also biodegrade within 28 days. Plus, Leaf Republic now ships internationally.
“Packaging is a part of our daily lives,” says the company’s website. “There has always been packaging and there always will be. As the number of people and their consumption keep on growing, the packaging market has an impressive size all over the world — and now it is time to revolutionize it.”
