Instead of using harmful single-use plastic plates, you can now choose these green plates made entirely from leaves.
With their lightweight, easy-to-use, and affordable characteristics, single-use plastic items like cups, bowls, and plates have become ubiquitous in most countries around the world. Whether at beverage shops, fast food restaurants, or during parties and picnics, you can easily encounter such disposable items. While their convenience is undeniable, these seemingly harmless and useful items pose significant hidden health risks.
While convenient, single-use plastic cups are very dangerous to human health.
And these bowls as well.
This is because they are made from Polystyrene plastic. According to research reports from the U.S. National Toxicology Program, Polystyrene can release the highly toxic Styrene when exposed to either low or high temperatures.
Last November, a research team at Naresuan University in Thailand caused a stir in the scientific community by inventing a type of bowl made from leaves that is biodegradable and waterproof.
Now, a German company named Leaf Republic has created plates made from leaves that are sturdy and environmentally friendly.
Can you believe these plates are made entirely from leaves?
As pollution on Earth reaches alarming levels, the introduction of this idea of making plates and bowls from leaves acts as a “savior” contributing significantly to the protection of our living environment and planet.
These plates consist of three layers. The top and bottom layers are made from large leaves, sewn together with palm leaf fibers. The middle layer is a sturdy, waterproof paper made entirely from biodegradable materials. The three layers are tightly pressed together using CNC machines and presses.
This type of plate has three layers.
While a single-use plastic plate takes up to 730,000 days to decompose, a leaf plate only takes 28 days.
This type of plate contains no plastics, additives, oils, glues, or any other chemicals. Because they are made from biodegradable materials, these plates decompose very easily, taking only 2 weeks, while other single-use plastic plates can take up to 2 years to decompose.
This type of plate contains no plastics, additives, oils, glues, or any other chemicals.
Your picnics will become “more environmentally friendly” with these leaf plates.
The company’s purpose in creating this innovative product is to help reduce the use of single-use food containers.
Now, Leaf Republic is ready to bring this environmentally friendly product to consumers worldwide to help protect the environment.
