Pakku mattai plate (8 inch)

Paakku mattai plate (also known as an Areca palm leaf plate or thattu) is a natural, eco-friendly disposable dinnerware item crafted from the fallen leaf sheaths of the Areca palm tree (pakku in Tamil).

Key Features & Description

• 100% Natural & Chemical-Free: Made exclusively from naturally shed Areca palm sheaths without any synthetic glues, plastics, bonding agents, or toxic chemicals.
• Manufacturing Process: Collected sheaths are washed in fresh water, scrubbed, sun-dried, and shape-pressed using high-heat hydraulic machines (pakku mattai machines).
• Sturdy & Leak-Proof: Naturally strong, thick, and moisture-resistant. They easily hold heavy South Indian meals, rice, wet gravies/curries, oily snacks, and hot or cold foods without softening or leaking.
• Eco-Friendly & Biodegradable: Completely compostable and biodegradable, naturally returning to the soil within a few weeks to two months after disposal.
