Traditional plastic plates can take hundreds of years to decompose—and along the way, they often break into harmful microplastics that pollute soil, waterways, and wildlife. Even “biodegradable” plastics can be misleading, often requiring specific conditions and still leaving behind residues.
Dtocs palm leaf plates, on the other hand, are made from naturally fallen leaves—no trees cut, no synthetic binders. They break down fully in just 90 days under commercial composting conditions, returning nutrients to the soil instead of toxins.
Let’s put it side by side:
So yes, let's break it down—literally and figuratively. When you choose palm over plastic, you're not just picking a plate—you're making a statement.
No waste. No regret. Just palm-powered progress. See our 3-part series for breaking down #DTOCS Palm Leaf Tableware. [Click each milestone image below to watch it compost]
