How are natural leaf plates made ?

The construction of our biodegradable plates is a traditional, natural and a simple process:

Gather fresh or slightly dried sal leaves from nearby forests or trees, making sure they are clean and free from damage.

01 Step 1

Overlap 5 to 8 leaves and stitch them using thin bamboo sticks, small wooden pins, or food-grade thread to form a round plate-sized mat.

02 Step 2

Dry the molded plates in the sun or in a drying chamber to ensure all moisture is removed and the plates become stiff and durable.

03 Step 3

Wash the collected leaves gently with water to remove dust, dirt, and insects, then dry them naturally or with a cloth.

04 Step 4

Place the stitched leaf mats into a metal mold or heat press machine to shape them into plates and bond the leaves firmly.

05 Step 5

Trim the edges to give the plates a neat shape, inspect for any damage, and pack them carefully for storage or sale.
