Naturblatt

Naturblatt is part of a global social enterprise movement. With everything we do, we work towards a plastic-free future for all of us and a self-determined life for women in India.

In India, food is traditionally wrapped in leaves. At Naturblatt, we have reinvented this tradition. We are making our compostable palm leaf dishes by cooperating with independent women cooperatives in rural India.

Naturally sustainable

In India, there are large areca and coconut plantations. Our women collect the palm leaves, wash and dry them. Then the leaves are pressed into shape with a heat press.

For our products we only use what nature gives us: naturally fallen palm leaves, water and heat. Thus, our natural leaf products are compostable at home and therefore recyclable.

Naturally fair

Naturblatt buys the finished products from the women's cooperatives at a fair price and distributes them in Germany. We have deliberately chosen to work with the women's cooperatives, because in this way we strengthen the local women.

The work in the collectives enables the women to lead a self-determined life and to be financially independent.

Our goal: If disposable, then sustainable & fair.

One thing up front: reusable tableware is always our first choice. Our palm leaf dinnerware is meant for those few situations where ceramic is not an option: for example, at festivals or a picnic in nature. If disposable, then please plastic-free, compostable and fairly produced.

To this end, we work with independent women's cooperatives in India. This gives us full control over our supply chain and ensures fair payment. This cooperation strengthens the financial independence of local women.

Our target groups: From gastro to barbecue.

We want to reach more people and offer our products in the catering industry where sustainable disposable tableware is needed: in catering, street food or festivals.

But also for your private parties, our tableware is a sustainable alternative to disposable plastic.

Empowered people empower women and save the planet.

With your contribution you not only help to reduce plastic waste here in Germany. At the same time you empower women in India to become financially independent.

If we reach the crowdfunding goal, it will ensure our continued existence this year. Specifically, if we reach the start level, we can place another order with the women's collectives.
