Fallen Leaves

Though my recent trend research on dinnerware websites for a client of ours, I found these beautiful disposable plates by Verterra. These eco-friendly dinnerware all start with collecting fallen leaves from plantations but without ever cutting down any trees. Normally, these leaves would be burned. Instead, they are brought to the factory, sprayed with high pressure water, steamed and UV sterilized, then finally they are turned into beautiful dinnerware.


From Verterra's website: Each piece is made from 100% renewable and compostable plant matter and water. No chemicals, waxes or dayes like those found in disposable paper and plastic options. No harmful toxins that can leach into your food. No worrying. It's also the most durable and versatile single-use product available - use it to reheat in the microwave, bake in the oven or cool in the fridge.

Their dishes won Best New Green/Environmentally-friendly product award at the Natural Products Expo East.

Cool, Chelsea! I love these. Nice find. Let's order a 100 pack 6" hexagon plates for our office (and send back the ones we got from Staples)! ~Amy
