A while back Marx Foods sent me a sample a Compostable Palm Leaf Plates. I was really curious about them because we are always looking for “green” products for our catering company.
These plates are literally a palm leaf from India that has been formed in to a plate (they also make cutlery). No trees have been sacrificed as they collect the fallen leaves for the plates.
I was really pleased with the plates. They are attractive, and durable. I filled one with water and after an hour it had not leaked and had kept its form. After a few hours it had warped a little but, who keeps their food on a plate for several hours.
I think they would be great for an eco wedding (any wedding) or for any celebration. With bulk buying (100) they cost less than $.70 a piece which I find very reasonable.
So go to Marx Foods and pick some up for your Fourth of July party.
