Palm leaf pieces are pressed from areca leaves collected after they fall from the tree; no tree is cut to make them. - **Round and square palm leaf plates** — from small appetizer plates to full dinner plates. - **Round and square palm leaf bowls** — for salads, curries, desserts and sides. - **Palm leaf trays** — for sharing platters, finger food and buffet display. - **Grape leaf plates** — a lighter, decorative plate for appetizers, cheese and pastries. Because every leaf is different, each plate has its own color and texture — a rustic, woody look that suits weddings, garden parties, corporate receptions, festivals and premium take-out. ## Specifications & factory formats | Format | Material | Sizes | Best for | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Round plate | Areca palm leaf | 150 mm (5.9 in), 200 mm (7.9 in), 250 mm (9.8 in) | Side, salad and dinner plates | | Square plate | Areca palm leaf | 70 mm (2.8 in), 150 mm (5.9 in), 170 mm (6.7 in), 200 mm (7.9 in), 250 mm (9.8 in) | Tasting bites to main courses | | Round bowl | Areca palm leaf | 120 mm (4.7 in), 160 mm (6.3 in) | Sauces, salads, desserts | | Square bowl | Areca palm leaf | 160 mm (6.3 in) | Curries, grain bowls | | Tray | Areca palm leaf | 230 mm (9.1 in), 300 mm (11.8 in) | Platters, buffets, sharing | | Grape leaf plate | Grape (vine) leaf | 140 mm (5.5 in), 165 mm (6.5 in), 190 mm (7.5 in) | Appetizers, cheese, pastries | All pieces are natural in color, single-use, and suitable for hot or cold food, freezer and microwave use. Custom sizes are available. MOQ depends on material, size and printing — it is stated in your quote. ## Materials and end of life Palm leaf plates are made from a single material — the leaf itself, cleaned and heat-pressed — with no chemical treatments or plastic coating added, according to the factory specification. That gives you a short, simple ingredient story for your customers. - Leaf tableware is accepted by some commercial composting facilities; acceptance and access vary by city, so check locally before printing a disposal instruction. - Use qualified language. The FTC Green Guides consider unqualified "biodegradable" claims deceptive unless the item fully breaks down quickly where it is usually disposed of, which is typically a landfill. - No grease-proofing agent is needed on a pressed leaf; you can still ask for the factory's PFAS declaration with your quote to document compliance with state PFAS laws in food packaging. ## Compliance for the US and Canada Palm leaf and grape leaf plates fall outside Canada's **Single-use Plastics Prohibition Regulations**, which target foodservice ware made from expanded polystyrene, PVC, oxo-degradable plastic and carbon-black plastics. The rules have applied to sales since December 20, 2023, and the Federal Court of Appeal confirmed on January 30, 2026 that they remain in force. If you want to call the plates "compostable" on a retail pack, buyers will expect third-party evidence: in North America that usually means certification through BPI in the US or CAN/BNQ 0017-088 in Canada. Tell us which certification your market requires and we confirm, before you order, which factory reference can document it. Ask for food-contact documentation with your quote. ## Custom sizes and private label Direct Eco Green can produce palm leaf plates in custom dimensions and pack them for foodservice cartons or retail shelves under your private label. Mixed orders let you combine plates, bowls and trays with matching [wooden cutlery sets](https://directecogreen.com/food-packaging/single-use-disposable-tableware/disposable-wooden-cutlery-set/) or [bagasse plates](https://directecogreen.com/food-packaging/single-use-disposable-tableware/bagasse-plates-trays/) in a single consolidated shipment. Samples are available before mass production so you can check the natural color variation. ## Why buy leaf plates factory-direct from Direct Eco Green Direct Eco Green is a manufacturer and sourcing partner, not a distributor: it produces through selected, audited partner factories and runs quality control on site from its base in Ho Chi Minh City. For natural products like leaf plates, on-site inspection is what keeps sorting, color and finish consistent from one container to the next. Bulk buyers gain a lower total cost of ownership, consolidated shipments with other tableware, and documentation support for importing from Asia.

Direct Eco Green palm leaf plates are made from areca palm leaves collected after they fall from the tree, then cleaned and heat-pressed. No trees are cut, and each palm leaf plate has its own natural color and texture. Can palm leaf plates go in the microwave or freezer? Yes. Palm leaf and grape leaf plates from Direct Eco Green can be used for hot or cold food, in the freezer and in the microwave. They are designed for single use. What sizes of palm leaf plates are available? Round palm leaf plates come in 150, 200 and 250 mm (5.9 to 9.8 in), and square plates from 70 to 250 mm (2.8 to 9.8 in). Bowls, trays from 230 to 300 mm and grape leaf plates from 140 to 190 mm complete the range, and custom sizes are possible. Are palm leaf plates allowed under Canada's single-use plastics rules? Yes. Palm leaf plates are not made from plastic, so they fall outside Canada's Single-use Plastics Prohibition Regulations. They are a straightforward replacement for foam or plastic plates in Canadian catering. Can I market palm leaf plates as compostable? Palm leaf plates are accepted by some commercial composting facilities, but a compostable claim on packaging should be backed by certification recognized in your market. Direct Eco Green confirms before you order which factory reference can document the certification you need. ### On this page 1. [Palm leaf and grape leaf tableware for catering and events](#s1) 2.
