Disposable tableware have become indispensable in wedding, picnic and birthday parties. Usually paper plates are most commonly used. Paper plates can be composted after we eat on these plates, as the food contaminates those. These plates also can be recycled if we don't eat on it. But all paper plates are not always bio-friendly. Some paper plates come with polythene sheet coated to make leak proof. These types of paper plates cannot be composted if we eat on it and cannot be recycled if we don't eat on it. Moreover trees are need to cut to make paper tableware.
There are several types of bio-friendly tableware. One of such is disposable leaf plates and bowls made from sheath of betel-nut tree. Betel-nut trees are abundantly grown in Assam. The sheath which primarily protects the betel-nuts in the tree, falls naturally once it is dried. These sheath are used to make tableware.
