Asapana is a small but global company, with roots in India and North America. We develop, market and distribute elegant, ecologically friendly dinnerware made from naturally fallen Areca Palm Tree leaves found in southern India. Our disposable dinnerware is completely biodegradable and compostable.

People in India have been using disposable plates made from leaves for thousands of years. Ancient wisdom? Perhaps, but definitely a smart renewable resource for today. Made from 100% organic material and produced in an energy efficient process: the fallen palm leaves are collected, washed and pressed into a heated mold.

When fallen leaves are harvested at sites in southern India, they contribute to the local economy, rather than being burned as waste. Used as an alternative to paper or other disposables, Asapana dinnerware further reduces pollution, carbon emission and resource use, both where they are produced, and where they are consumed. It just makes sense.

A guilt free use and throw product, Asapana disposable leaf plates are just right for any outdoor event, and with pleasing designs, they are fit for the most elegant party, wedding or catering function.
