Don’t we all love microwaves? Get your favourite food out of the fridge, pop it in the microwave and voila, (almost) good as new! But many a time, the food is in a plastic container and plastic just cannot be put in the microwave. Any heat can cause the plastic to release toxic chemicals into our food, which might have long-lasting effects on our health. On the other hand, areca palm leaf plates are fully microwaveable! They are sturdy and durable plates that can take any heat, and are perfect for microwaving that extra slice of pizza in the middle of the morning, when everyone else is asleep!

With bad disposal comes great pollution! This isn’t some line from the latest Spider-Man movie, but a very grave fact about plastics. Disposable plastics often end up either in landfills, or littering the countryside. Either way, they cause a plethora of issues, ranging from preventing water percolation and being eaten by unsuspecting animals, to releasing toxic fumes on incineration. Areca palm leaf plates are a different story altogether. Whether you dispose of them properly, or leave them lying around carelessly, they will do no harm to the environment! Over time, areca palm leaf plates will decompose naturally and succumb to the elements of nature. So, choose sustainability and choose areca!

Chemicals! They’re virtually the only components of plastic, and are at the core of a number of health issues we face when we use plastics. In some cases, they can even give you cancer. To counter this, Adaaya manufactures areca palm leaf plates that are perfectly healthy! They have no chemicals, and none are used in any stage of the production process. It definitely makes a lot of sense to choose areca palm leaf plates over plastic disposable ones, especially if you’re a health-conscious person!

Fossil fuels! We use them and at the same time, hate them! But did you know that fossil fuels are at the heart of plastic production too?! The basic components, ethylene and propylene, are procured only from the process of extracting fossil fuels. This further incentivizes the fossil fuel industry, which is the opposite of what we should be doing, right? On the other hand, the production of areca palm leaf plates is very eco-friendly. All it takes is some fallen leaves(mind you, nothing that hasn’t already fallen off the tree is ever used!), some sunlight and water to create the perfect set of plates. That’s a clear K.O. for areca over plastic!

Plastic! We all know it as a scourge on nature and our environment as we know it. Clogged up drains, animals choking on plastic, lack of water table replenishment, soil erosion-- the list is endless. The world needs a replacement and to implement it as soon as possible. The replacement has to be eco-friendly and fully biodegradable while being sustainably produced and easy to do so too. Areca palm leaves are the answer to this question! They fit the bill and do so in style. Areca palm leaf plates can be produced more sustainably than plastic ones, and leave no trace of their existence after composting. Can you think of all the reasons areca is the perfect substitute to plastic disposables?
