Borrowed from the earth and then returned, Verterra products are made in South Asia where employees are provided access to healthcare and receive fare wages in safe working conditions.
Soaking fallen leaves, pressing them into a mold and applying steam and heat and using no glue whatsoever, create Verterra all-natural dinnerware. The result is a wood-like dish, bowl or platter that is microwavable, resistant to refrigeration or heat, but is biodegradable and compostable, in two months time after its tossed.
The products are nearly as affordable as competing disposable products without the enviro-friendly applications attached and come in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit any need.
Additionally, the factories use 10% of the energy that most recycled paper plates use and the water used to press the leaves is recaptured and reused as well making it a truly natural, non-toxic, renewable, sustainable and compostable alternative to paper or plastic.

Review by L on 4/20/11
Joanne Hudson was the only vendor who had this size plate in stock, including the manufacturer! Shipping was prompt and although the plates are not the cheapest option , I needed something strong and these plates have a lot more character than other disposables. I am also happy that I won't need to rinse them since they can be disposed of in the regular trash where they will break down in a very short time.
