Bamboo Plates are environmentally friendly, natural chemical free and durable, making them an ideal alternative to regular plates. Bamboo is one of the fastest growing grasses and it does self-regenerate from its own roots without help of chemicals. Unlike bio-plastics, Bamboo is biodegradable and can be easily composed at home. Bamboo plates are made from bamboo and palm leaves are easily compostable even in your backyard. They break down naturally and enrich the soil. Plastic cutlery take up to 500 years to break down in landfills, whereas wooden cutlery can decompose in 90 days in your backyard making it safe for both your health and environment.
