Areca Palm Compartment Tray

One naturally fallen leaf, three neat compartments — mains, sides and sauce kept apart.

A 30×25 cm tray with three compartments, pressed from a single fallen areca palm sheath so each piece wears its own wood-grain. Mains, sides and sauces stay neatly apart, with no wax or plastic lining to bleed through. Rigid enough for thali service, canteens and catering, then home compostable in 60 to 90 days.

Good to know

Frequently asked

Will the dividers keep a saucy curry from running into the rice?

Yes. The three moulded compartments sit at full depth with raised walls between them, so a wet curry, a dry side and a chutney stay in their own sections. The leaf is naturally oil- and leak-resistant, with no wax or plastic coating to soften or seep.

How many portions does the 30×25 cm tray hold?

It comfortably serves a full single-person meal: a generous main in the largest compartment, a side in the second, and a sauce, pickle or sweet in the smallest. The footprint suits standard canteen counters and stacks neatly for plated thali service.

Can I reheat a plated meal in the microwave or hold it in the freezer?

Yes to both. The tray is freezer-safe for prepped or chilled meals and microwave-safe in short bursts to warm a portion through. For the best edge, reheat in stages rather than one long blast, as you would with any natural material.

What happens to the tray after the meal?

It is 100% home compostable, breaking down in a garden or kitchen compost in roughly 60 to 90 days. Because it is simply heat-pressed palm leaf with no plastic, wax or PFAS lining, nothing synthetic is left behind and there is no liner to peel away first.
