No. Charity Leaf Palm Leaf products won’t alter the taste of your food in any way. For serving food, we recommend placing a liner such as parchment paper on the plate. Additionally, the issue of food leaching is diminished since no lacquers are used in the process (which is a problem with plastics or PLA plastics/bioplastics face)

Our dinnerware from fallen leaves/palm leaf plate line is produced in India--there are no leaves in North America that work for this process. We own our factory where all of our workers receive fair wages in safe working conditions and are provided access to medical care.

No. Only naturally fallen, dry leaves are used for manufacturing of these products, which are otherwise waste. The raw material sourced is completely sustainable!

No. Our palm leaf products are made from the leaf of the Areca palm tree. Palm oil, which is linked to mass deforestation, is harvested from a completely different variety of palm tree.

Our product is 100% biodegradable and compostable. It becomes good organic compost when disposed off because there is no bonding agents, wax coatings or chemicals used in the making.
