Compostable Dinnerware by VerTerra™

What is VerTerra compostable dinnerware made from?

VerTerra compostable dinnerware and tableware are made from fallen leaves, specifically sustainably sourced, hand-collected leaves from the Areca palm tree. These leaves are a natural byproduct of the tree's natural growth cycle, and no trees are harmed in the process. The leaves are cleaned, heat-pressed, and shaped into various dinnerware items, making them compostable and eco-friendly.

How long does it take for VerTerra compostable dinnerware to decompose?

VerTerra dinnerware is designed to break down quickly and efficiently in composting conditions. In a commercial composting facility, VerTerra products can decompose within 2 to 4 months. In a home composting system, it may take a bit longer, depending on the environmental conditions and composting practices. The decomposition time is significantly faster compared to traditional plastic or foam disposable dinnerware, which can take hundreds of years to break down in landfills.

Where are VerTerra Plates made?

VerTerra plates were manufactured in South Asia, specifically in India and Indonesia. VerTerra is known for using sustainably sourced palm leaves from these regions to create their compostable dinnerware and tableware products.
