How Leaves Are Made Into Biodegradable Plates

Vistaraku, a company based in India, makes biodegradable plates and bowls from the leaves of the Palash tree. The leaves have natural antibacterial and antiseptic properties, which make eating from them a sustainable and healthy option. Madhavi and Venu Vippulancha started Vistaraku out of their love for nature. Each of the plates and bowls are made by women from Siddipet, Hyderabad, and Thimmareddypally.

I remember my father mockingly speaking of my maternal grandfather as being cheap because he arranged their wedding food to be served on leaf plates. (The woman's family organizes the wedding in India.) And he (my father) would brag how he had to save face during the reception by making sure food was served on "proper" ceramic plates with cutlery. At that time I would laugh at that joke because to my childlike mind serving food on leaves was a "low class" thing to do. But now I am an adult who can think for myself and this video just reminded me how narrow-minded some people can be. Leaf plates and banana leaves have been used for centuries to serve food in India during traditional functions like weddings and religious ceremonies. And in this age, where use-and-throw habits are literally destroying the planet, I can see how this shift can be enormously beneficial. It will allow human beings to slowly transition to a more eco-friendly lifestyle without making it too difficult to adapt to. 😊

Rather than wrapping it in plastic, they can use biodegradable wrapping paper or tie them together with biodegradable ties.

[@buddhapiyao1315]

Cotton cloth or paper bags can be a good substitute for packing the plates instead of plastic. If the cotton cloth can be stiched to the exact measurements of the plates something like a pillow or cushion cover, the plates will remain snug while transportation. Similarly they can be wrapped in paper. In our villages, such plates are tied up with twine from banana or thin coir ropes to carry for one place to the other but I can understand if it has to be shipped internationally it needs better packaging. Try cloth or paper, I'm sure it will work.

It is called as Pattl in some parts of India (Bihar,up,etc.). People are using these plates from ancient times. 40-50 years ago we were forced to stop practicing our eco-friendly culture by calling uncivilized from so called civilized Westerns. But this is our era. World is slowly recognising the importance of eco-sustainable living 🙏🙏. Let's make them realise that we were not uncivilized.

Loved it and those who are coming they are wrapping in plastic It is better to wrap in one plastic rather than using 100 of plastic or poly plates. Btw now they are coming up biodegradable plastic wrap which can easily degradable in soil.

That is an amazing environment friendly solution to the increasing one time use plastic plates.
