The ecologic plates, bowls and serving dishes created by VerTerra are made from palm leaves.

But it’s not only the material that is ecologic. The production process is free of chemicals and glues and, according to the company, approximately 80% of the water used in the steaming and pressing process is recycled.

Also, the products are compostable and can be used to make fertilizers at the end of their lifecycle.

To order, simply go to VerTerra’s website. A 12-piece set starts from US$ 25.

VerTerra was founded in 2006 by Michael Dwork. On that same year, they were granted two US$100,000 awards to boost their project.
