Areca palm leaf plates

Few Words about biodegradable Areca leaf plates:

These have a very bad and negative impact on the environment.

So, Eco-friendly or Sustainable?

Now we want to clarify the difference between a sustainable product and an eco-friendly product.

Areca palm leaf plates are actually both.

Not all eco-friendly dinnerware is made equally, however sustainability is a higher standard of eco-friendly products.

What is Sustainability? Sustainability is the ability to maintain a healthy environment through ethical and sound processes. Just because a product is eco-friendly, doesn’t mean the manufacturing process and transportation is too. If the process takes lots of energy and releases pollution, the process is still not sustainable. Therefore neither is the product.

Bamboo plates are a great example of dinnerware that is eco-friendly, but still is not sustainable. The bamboo plates themselves are biodegradable, compostable, and eco-friendly. Even though the plates are made from a renewable resource, the process itself is still not sustainable.

Bamboo plates rely on cutting down bamboo. This contributes to the deforestation and harms ecosystems, strips wildlife of their habitats. It denies local populations of a valuable resource. Additionally, the process of cutting down trees and turning them to sawdust releases pollution and contributes to climate change.

Conclusion:

Areca biodegradable leaf plates, on the other hand, are both eco-friendly and sustainable. They are made from naturally leaves that fell to the ground. Of course they do not contribute to deforestation or harming local ecosystems and wildlife. Areca Palm leaf plates use the leaves that fall naturally. Leaves that otherwise will be discarded or burned. So, no trees are cut down or harmed.

These trees are grown mainly for their nuts, (two products from one tree). Of course no toxins are released in production, and the locals are using very little energy to produce this product.
