Areca Palm

Areca Palm Round Plates

The everyday round plate, grained like wood, graceful as a wedding.

Round dinner and side plates pressed from a single fallen areca sheath, each carrying its own wood-grained markings. Rigid enough to hold a full plate without bending, yet quietly elegant on any table. Naturally oil- and leak-resistant, with no wax, plastic or PFAS, and home compostable in 60 to 90 days.

Frequently asked

Which size should I choose for a main course?

The Ø25 cm is your dinner plate, with room for a full main and sides. The Ø20 cm suits lighter mains, salads and starters, while the Ø15 cm is ideal for desserts, canapés and small bites. Many hosts keep all three for a layered table.

Are these sturdy enough for a heavy, loaded plate?

Yes. Heat-pressed from a single rigid sheath, they hold their shape under a full meal with gravy or curry, no bending or sagging. You can comfortably eat standing, plate in hand, without a second plate for support.

Can I reheat food on these plates?

Yes, in short microwave bursts. They are freezer-safe too, so leftovers can go from freezer to quick reheat. Their natural oil- and leak-resistance means sauces and dressings stay put, with no wax or plastic lining to worry about.

How do I dispose of them after a meal?

Simply add them to your home compost, where they break down in 60 to 90 days and return to the soil. Each plate is a single fallen leaf with nothing added, so there is no liner to separate first.
