With people falling in love with takeout, the amount of disposable tableware has doubled and doubled, packing boxes, plastic bags have become the number one garbage in the city. Leaf Republic team from Germany invented a pure natural disposable tableware with leaves instead of plastic, and 100% recyclable.

Today, let's see how they've changed the leaves into a set of silverware.
This is the final product made by the Leaf Republic team, which is not only waterproof and oil resistant, but also disposable tableware that can be completely reduced to fertilizer. No chemicals, such as glue and paint, are used in the process of making, and it is completely natural. But it's not so smooth to make cutlery that might change the world.

There was a thick forest outside the window of Pedram, founder of the office, but one day he saw a story about the environmental crisis:

Every two seconds, a football field size area of forest is cut down, and every year 13000000 hectares of trees are used to make pulp, which is equivalent to the size of a british. And a lot of these pulp is used to make disposable tableware.


In addition to the destruction of nature, on the other hand, we produce waste rate is also growing, there are more than 10 tons of garbage scattered into the environment every year, of which the disposable tableware made of plastic or paper a year, the accumulation of more than a Mount Qomolangma, and the garbage in the nature to complete degradation of at least 730000 day.


Seeing that, founder Pedram said, "it's time to do something to change this awful world.". So he thought, "there are so many fallen leaves in the forest. Why do we have to cut down the trees? Can we make use of these fallen leaves to make some trees?" Think of action immediately. He immediately called some of his friends, did not expect to hit it off, designers and engineers what you should have done.

They didn't have an office at first, so they had brainstorming, office, design and production in the Pedram's living room. The first hot press they designed for making leaf dishes was created here.

Making mold

Experiment constantly

Beleaf is the first tableware of various shapes of leaves sewn into a piece of irregular leaf, and then in two leaves with the same from the leaves made of water repellent and oil (Palm), finally uses a specially designed machine three laminated together, can become a disposable tableware environmental protection 100%.

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, only leaves. Therefore, usually discarded dishes will be left in the natural 730000 days, but the leaves made of disposable tableware will only be 28 days natural decomposition, back to natural nutrients.

After the first hot press was made, it was completely manual, and the products were not satisfactory. But after their ideas and samples were introduced, they got all kinds of awards:

Take the prize but also to raise money first, then they developed semi automatic molding machine, with the products produced around the exhibition game, don't cut any tree with leaves, as long as you can create the disposable tableware, so Niubi project makes them win a prize to get soft.

Waterproof and oil proof will not leak

The utility model is suitable for various occasions





“ in the vastness of the universe, our existence is only an instant, and all the nights are short and temporary. The significance of our existence lies not in what we have now, but in what we can create for the future. If we can build a company that really can achieve sustainable development and make sense for society and the environment, then what we do is the greatest thing in the world. ”
