Leafymade makes natural, sustainable and biodegradable tableware that are made of leaves and only leaves. We aim to contribute to fight one of the biggest challenges of current times: the pollution of our environment with plastic. But we also believe that sustainability is not only restricted to the environment, this is why we hold up the values of social entrepreneurship. Acknowledging local knowledge is important to us and this is why we produce in Odisha (India) where the use of leaves as plates has been a common practice for centuries. By producing in Odisha we do not only credit the local people’s knowledge, but by establishing good working conditions and fair salaries, we provide a safety net for our employees. We especially want to give women the opportunity to lead a self-determined life by working for us. By providing a fair salary we want to contribute to their possibilities to improve their own as well as their families’ wellbeing.
