About Us
Palm Leaf is a family-run small-business based in Woking, UK, in the green Surrey. Our mission is to ‘Save the world for our next generation’ by introducing eco-friendly and affordable alternatives to single-use-plastic tableware for parties and events.
The idea originated in 2018, when we witnessed excessive use of single-use-plastic products at home, work, supermarkets, and even faith-based institutions. Most products that we buy for our consumption even today, is wrapped in some form of plastic.
In March-2021, the European Parliament passed a new law banning many single-use-plastic products from Jan' 2021 including plastic tableware. The EU is now tackling the 10 single-use plastic items, most commonly found on Europe’s beaches, and is promoting sustainable alternatives.
The passing of the above law served as a very important milestone for us to invest further in sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives in the tableware category.
