HC Plastics News: As people fall in love with take-out, the amount of disposable tableware has multiplied exponentially, and packaging boxes and plastic bags have become the city's number one garbage. The LeafRepublic team from Germany invented a pure natural disposable tableware that uses leaves instead of plastic and is 100% recyclable.
How to turn leaves into tableware? See it together.

â–²The above is the final product designed and manufactured by the LeafRepublic team. It is not only waterproof and oil-proof, but also a disposable tableware that can be completely degraded into fertilizer. It does not use any chemicals such as glue and paint during the production process. It is completely natural. However, to make this kind of tableware that may change the world, the process is not so smooth and beautiful!
â–² Outside the window of the founder Pedram, there was a dense forest, but one day he saw a report about the environmental crisis:
Every two seconds, a forest of a football field is cut down. Every year, 13 million hectares of trees are used to make pulp, which is equivalent to a British size. And a considerable part of these pulps are used to make disposable tableware.
In addition to destroying nature, on the other hand, we are producing garbage at an increasing rate. More than 1 billion tons of garbage are scattered into the natural environment every year, and there are a large number of disposable tableware made of paper or plastic, which is accumulated every year. More than one Everest, and the waste is completely degraded in nature, at least 730000 days.
Seeing this, founder Pedram felt that it was time to do something to change this terrible world. So he thought, there are so many fallen leaves in the forest, why do you have to cut down trees, can you use these leaves to make some trees? Just think of it and act now. He immediately summoned some of his friends, but he did not expect to hit it off. Designers and engineers have everything to do.
At first they didn't have an office, so they were brainstorming, working, designing and producing in Pedram's living room.
The first hot press they designed to make leaf cutlery was built here.

Beleaf's cutlery is to first sew various shapes of leaves into irregular large leaves, and then add water and oil-repellent layers (palm leaves) made of leaves to the two leaves, and finally use specially designed machines. When three layers are laminated together, they can be turned into 100% environmentally friendly disposable tableware.
Finally finally succeeded

In the process of making tableware, in addition to not harming the natural environment, the finished product is completely natural. The whole process does not use glue, oil, glue or chemical materials, and only leaves. Therefore, the discarded disposable tableware will remain in the natural 730000 days after being discarded, but the discarded tableware made of this leaf can be naturally decomposed and returned to natural nutrients in only 28 days.
After the first hot pressing mechanism was made, although it was completely manual, the products made were not satisfactory, but their ideas and samples were awarded after various awards:
After winning the prize and raising the first money, they designed a semi-automatic thermoforming machine to carry out the products and participate in the competition. There is no need to cut any trees, just use the leaves to make one. The tableware, so arrogant items made them get the soft hand.
Waterproof and oil proof will not leak at all

In the vast universe, our existence is only a moment, and all the nights we have are short-lived and temporary. The meaning of our existence is not what we have now, but what we can create for the future. If we can build a company that truly achieves sustainable development and that makes society meaningful to the environment, then what we do is the greatest thing in the world. ——Leaf Republic
Really good!
I hope to promote it.
Also hope that there are more companies and individuals
Can carry forward with such a sense of mission.
Protect the planet and protect the environment in which we live,
Everyone needs to do something.
