- Vistaraku, a company based in India, makes biodegradable plates and bowls from the leaves of the Palash tree. The leaves have natural antibacterial and antiseptic properties, which make eating from them a sustainable and healthy option. Madhavi and Venu Vippulancha started Vistaraku out of their love for nature. Each of the plates and bowls are made by women from Siddipet, Hyderabad, and Thimmareddypally.

How Leaves Are Made Into Biodegradable Plates - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
I mean it's no new thing we have been using this as far back as I can remember, this or banana leaves. Glad they are showing it to the world now
no bro we use a lot of paper and plastic,styrophome.Not plates made out of leaves.Though we have bern usung banana leaves from like 200bc i guess.
@@zuhairahmed7782 we use leaf plates in himachal too. I am sure some people are using plastic plates as well but mostly we use leaf plates and plastic is banned in HP since 2002 so.....
@@zuhairahmed7782 plastic is banned in the south so also every restaurant, festival has banana leaves .. it's same for North for the most part
Even in North we r using way long time back. When i was kid. I saw it.
@@zuhairahmed7782 use it in West Bengal....where r u from
Its called Tapari In Nepali. We are using this plate from Vedic periods till now.
But the western call us uncivilized and uneducated. Now its time to rise in the world with these innovations for better future.
You true Bro.
We using from past but only now touch up and bringing back to Market.
Wow
Nothing but truth.
In Maharashtra we call it patravali
Why all of you are in love with car horns?
15 years ago we only used to have such kinds of plate at marriage or any other ceremonies. But now days it's all silver ones or plastic ones.
Silver are not easy to find in a common househol,they be expensive.. Its aluminium, steel or plastic
Yes I do remember those times.
Which is for the better, it's better to use reusable plates as you can clean them again and use. One time use and throw plates like this will be a burden on the nature overtime
@@merxellus1456 by saying silver he means the color not actual silver, because plastic plates are painted silver
@@deepaks8430 wat!?? Plastic plates r painted silver? Wat u talkin bout bro?
I remember my father mockingly speaking of my maternal grandfather as being cheap because he arranged their wedding food to be served on leaf plates. (The woman's family organizes the wedding in India.) And he (my father) would brag how he had to save face during the reception by making sure food was served on "proper" ceramic plates with cutlery. At that time I would laugh at that joke because to my childlike mind serving food on leaves was a "low class" thing to do. But now I am an adult who can think for myself and this video just reminded me how narrow-minded some people can be.
Leaf plates and banana leaves have been used for centuries to serve food in India during traditional functions like weddings and religious ceremonies. And in this age, where use-and-throw habits are literally destroying the planet, I can see how this shift can be enormously beneficial. It will allow human beings to slowly transition to a more eco-friendly lifestyle without making it too difficult to adapt to. 😊
So you were a brat from childhood itself. Good to see you changed
@@anantsaini yeah great to see you're a greater brat
@@jim_from_it3261 haha I love the way you said that 😂😂

Eating in banana leaf is 💚
In my childhood we used banana leaves to eat food but when we moved to city it is not so easy to get banana leaf 🙃
But I know this most of the people from south of india use banana leaves to eat food most of road side hotels , during ceremonies like wedding , in temples they usually feed you on a banana leaf❤🧡🤍💚
Hmm, meals taste good too.
No wastage too.
Animals too can wat.
No worries
Banana leaves give some kind of nice taste to the food
In the Philippines we eat in a banana leaf too. We call it budel fighting I don't know if I got the spelling correct.
@@almalyncabansag4442 yes in Indosphere eating in banana leaves is a most common thing
It is good to see that we share common tradition 😄. I really appreciate your reply that shows 😊 your and my respect for each other culture.
India really inspired me to be more appreciate about the nature 😔💗 thank you for yall hardwork on save the world
Yes also india is choking in pollution with 14 out of 15 most polluted cities in the world.. indian public is more wiser than administration
@@rameessalim2492 wrong information! I request you to kindly check the facts instead on believing whatever the media or rather the fake media in your country shows you! I was in Delhi recently no pollution! No people wearing masks! It was normal!
hae ra sarcasm?
@@akbarfauzi4006 why?
@@SshivamKhopkar lol.. it's not any media . Its official data released by world economic forum.. you didn't see doesnt means facts are non existent . Its eady to deny something as non existant but it needs balls to accept truth at first point , challenge it and move along..learn one or two from china.Atleast dont deny the grave issue that is the fourth most reason for death in india .
I am from Nepal and I have seen my grandma making them with hand .we mostly use them when there is family gathering or in festival. it is called tapari(plate) duna(bowl)
Same Duna it's known in My place too Bro ..
Yes bro we got the prasad in dunna back then when i was in Bihar
Rytly said... 🇳🇵
Asians have been using this method from centuries it's no new thing
Tapari & Duna this are called in my place also India👍it means we are same ...it's geographical location is different..🙏❤️from India ❤️🙏🇮🇳
Eating in these leaves is a traditionally a practice dating to ages. Earlier these leaves used to be stitched using hand using small twigs , which was time taking , now with this heat press the work is faster and easy
Food in leaf plates taste so amazing especially during Pujas ahh
Exactly. These plates remind me of Durga Puja
They also extract the nutrients from the leaf when they're hot.
@@tharunvijay7641 Yummmm. Leaf juice
Khichudi, Shukto, Beguni and Chutney 😍
It's good that it's environmental friendly
its not, its a plate made of cardboard com leaves on top
but don't you think it's also environmental damaging?
They are using plastic to wrap them
The only biodegradable plate is the banana leaf plate.
If not for the plastic packaging that's it lol 😂
This thing is all over India.....

That's why it is called pattal in hindi and in my village people still eats in pattal in parties or bhandaras or other functions. 'Patta' means plant leaf. Its a tradition to eat in these pattals from time immemorial.
Sadly, this practice hasn't come to the cities. I recently went to a store that deals with disposable to get disposable plate and glass for home use, but they didn't have these leaves plate when I asked them. They only had paper and styrofoam ones. So disappointing
We call them pattal too
@@niharoad4483 i live in a city? We have pattals and bamboo plates. Which city are you in?
@@niharoad4483 the leaf plates are costlier and bulky too. The styrofoam is much more cheaper and lighter. Therefore most don't stock them due to lack of demand.
But it's commonly available, maybe not at that particular shop
Its widely used all across India.. Specially during ceremonies and weddings back in those days..
Would be better if they weren’t bundled in plastic but it is a starts
Ikr they can use string made of a type of leaf
It is not
a start, such plates were already in use for a long ago.
I remember when I was a kid food were served in such leaf plates in marriage.
Hey, that's plastic is biodegradable, have a close look
@@nishantsingh5385 yes in my childhood also ..shadiyo me bada khana khaya hai in plates me
Dude, cut them some slack! Those are leaf plates, ants and insects can eat them. May be to protect leaves, they had to use plastic.
we’ve been using these for hundreds of years now :// nothing new but glad the world is learning now!
We could learn a lot from you here in America. I love how your saving trees seeing plates are normally made from paper which is from a tree. You pick the leaves and the tree grows more. Thus, saving the tree. Amazing!
People just need something to complain about everything they see. The plastic used to pack the plates is way less than the plastic plate itself.
But it’s still plastic... I think they should use leaves or crates or somthing biodegradable to wrap it like vines
@@lifeaddict i don't understand how you find this comment but completely bypassed the top comment
dude relax they use cardboard boxes under those leaves.
We used eat on these natural plates and bowls 45 years ago at the weddings and they were bio - degradable. So glad it's coming back and also food is tasty on it.
Plates made of leaves are so common in india. I have seen from child hood and so did my parents . It is not something , we invented something due to climate change discussion.
It's common for us people living in Andhra Pradesh to serve in vistaraku for guests.Thanks for showing their production
Same in West Bengal also. It is used to serve prasad during Durga Puja
In telangana we also make glasses for drinking water or toddy with fig leafs , toddy leaves and modhuga leafs, we call those glasses as dolla or rekha
I had eaten food on that plate in a wedding
Maybe a decade back and I loved that concept
Lovely to see such progress
Leaf plates are made by hand in Nepal and used in various Hindu occasions. We call it 'Tapari' and 'Duna'.
Thanks so much Insider for the Video!!
I really like this because it is environmental friendly and it is making every use items !!!
We've been using banana leaves as plates in Singapore / Southeast Asia since even before I was born. Good that environmentally friendly cultural practices are becoming global
The most efficient way of doing something for environment.
These are great. My favorite music festival had all the food stalls change their dishes exclusively to these and wooden utencils to switch from non-recyclable plastic contamined with food to 100% compostable waste. It's so lovely.
والله برافو رغم الفقر والعذاب وبقيتو متقدمين ومتفوقين على كتير ناس الله يقويكن
For those thinking packing plates in plastic is bad, they should feel free to mention financial viable and environmentally friendly way of packing while at it!
Exactly. People always go crazy about that one tiny bit of unavoidable plastic on hugely environmental friendly products.
This is the best news I’ve heard all month.
HindsightPOV u should google "Pattal" n see how great India is using this since ages until plastic came n destroyed them
ayush Jain
At some point in this current generation we all are going to have to do this and apply this to other things because the plastic problem has gotten so bad in the world that we can’t ignore it anymore.
And the good thing is, they give work opportunities to these wonderful women👍🏼 I'm supporting this👍🏼
This Is Very Very Inner innovative and Nature Friendly Approach.......
I LOVED IT ❤️
Siddipet is my home town. I never knew this company was there.
I too don't know
Aw what a lovely idea totaline awesome an original idea and if I'll degradable so it gets back to the Earth love the idea brilliant 👏❤️😎✌️👍👍👍👍👍
It's thousands of years old idea
Bless them! Great job! Thanks for posting!
Ohh finally I get to see that real sustainable solution for this thermocol plates
Good to see world finally catching up with ancient modern india
This is a great idea and the plates are beautiful ❤️😊
This is a wonderful product and I'm happy women are getting the chance to manufacture a sustainable, biodegradable product which has an everyday use.
I remember using this leaves as disposable plates in events. before heat presses these leaves were put together using thin twigs of a grass bush native to our place.
Happy to see this age old thing in my country being learnt and acclaimed by the world now. But the sad part is many Indians prefer plastic and other alternatives!
Uses leaves to help the environment!
*Uses plastic to wrap them up..*
how can we package them?
@@zuhairahmed7782+ Wrap them into leaves!
It requires a semi air and water proof packaging if it needs to be shipped.
It can attract insects or start degrading if it's in constant contact with the elements.
We just have to look at like a minute amount of shrink wrap is replacing a LOT of plastic.
@@saiskanda+ Put it into the freezer so the insects will die!
People like you always look at the small negative instead of the big positive.
Oh, that leaf's smell is amazing too.
Ine ke liye aapko bahut sara thank
So eco friendly!
Ppl commenting about how it’s still wrapped in plastic like okay Karen
Love this. It's unique to see. It works . We need some of this going here.
Huge respect for the investor of this...
👍🏻
*OMG and some are still complaining about the plastic packaging?!? Hyprocrisy, let's just be grateful for a change ok!*
Thanks so much !!
0:05 Cool idea
0:41 Seems legit
This is what everyone should use in any occasion and festivals.
What a environmental concern.....👍👍👍👍👍
packaged in plastic...nice
I agree they can press plates. Cant they use the same leaves to make the packaging and a ribbon out of it to tie the bundles together?

@@bertiebeetle3 no. You wouldn't have got this question if you had a good IQ and you had used your common sense. Sadly you lack both! These plates are shipped! If you wrap them in leaf they will degrade! Idiot!
@@SshivamKhopkar I really admire your passion for being right.
Your psychic insight into my IQ is an amazing talent you have aswell.
Please don't stop being you. You are enough.
@@bertiebeetle3 it can , but as it reaches the customer the plate may have lots of fungus and insects inside them !!
Literally all Indians prefer to eat of an actual leaf which is even more sustainable and there is no plastic involved so.....
ikr.but mostly in south india tho in north very rarely.
@Fluffydogs 4life It’s wrapped in plastic tho
@@newspacia no I'm not talking about these plates I'm talking about eating straight off of a fresh picked banana leaf
This... This is a very good idea actually. Good for them. Hope it will get popular in other growing countries. Thanks
Very interesting! I wish you would make a more detailed video on this.
It's pattal bi*₹h, we have been using it literally for a millennia
ikr 😂😂😂 actually no bro...agar tu dhyaan dega hamare plates ya to paper ya to stryophom ya plastic ke rahenge.Ya phir banana leafs bery rarely will u find leaf plates.
@ganesh mourya is right ...I being brought up in delhi remember eating all kinda a chats , kulfis , amd those lovely gulab jamuns in this with a wooden 'tila' (spoon) this was all that was affordable for the poor roadside stalls later 2000 onwards plastic plates became cheaper and accessible and flooded our markets sadly the trend has caught on as it is APPARENTLY MORE hygienic !
@@zuhairahmed7782 mere ghr pe jitne bhi functions or occassions hote hain usme humlog pattal hi use krte hain
@@zuhairahmed7782
In Jharkhand West Bengal Orissa Bihar it is made from sal Leaves
Zuhair Ahmed tujhe kya pata.........
Jab pata nahi ho to bola nhi krta
Actually how they stitch the single small leaves into a single large leaf, Thanks 🙏🙏🙏
As far as I know (having eaten in such plates numerous times), they use tiny strands of bamboo skins.
We need more people like this.
Wow. This can be very useful for wedding reception and such.
My bhandara homies would be familiar with this
I can relate u bro😂
Title : How leaves are made into Biodegradable plates
Video : Plucks leaves, presses, seals with plastic
The plastic is very limited compared to amount of plates and also that's a single layer plastic.
So unhealthy u r
That is an amazing environment friendly solution to the increasing one time use plastic plates.
Yes we love biodegradable products. We have stopped using plastic or paper based in ceremonies and functions.
That is shrink wrap dummies....its the least amount of plastic used for the purpose...Bet these environmental people will be complaining about single use plastic syringes and medical devices in the future
Someone needs to make an edible plate.
Nuclear Cashew this is too much..lol animals are gonna eat tjose plates after we thow them..u wanna steal food from bovine animals??lol
Injera?
The whole world should adapt this.. So that planting trees can also be increased
Really appreciate to see such type of things 👏👏🥰🥰
It’s funny how they’re wrapped in plastic when they’re trying to get rid of plastic...
This is just to keep items hygienic
@Andy It's not waterproof or they treat those leaves chemically to avoid moisture and insects.
They are trying to MINIMIZE the use of plastic.
*makes biodegradable objects to save environment*
*wraps it in plastic*
Morons atleast they change 50%
Before there is plastic plates in plastic wrapper
No wonder.. A for apple ,B for ball makes u think like that...
Try to move Bright side...
Instead of pining..., just suggest better way...
You think this is a smart comment you have made?
First step of elimination is reduceding usage ,, plastic is wonderful things but not degradable leave are easily degradable for there increase life yes thin plastic film is using ,, untill something better alternative and cheaper product available for its longer life ,, complete remove of plastic not possible but minimuming its usage definitely help in long run
Do you have any solution ?
Hats off to all ladies
This is in my city . Thank you insider.
"iTs wRaP In pLaStIk " , like wth the thing can easily degrade by other microorganism , if its not wrap in plastic , it cannot be mass produce to distribute to a larger scale , yes it uses plastic , but it still better
Why is everyone fixated on plastic wrapping?! At least appreciate the innovative idea.
Shukriya
Same here in the Philippines, we also use leaf plates.. kudos to Indian brothers and sisters
And then wrapped them up with plastic 😬. Hopefully it's biodegradable plastic 😅

@@user-en1kx7rw7i ummm... That's the point of these plates... Use and decompose. You could get 2 sets of those plates for a $ or less
U guys think u r so smart ..... think about the plastic to plate ratio.... if that amount of plates were to be made of plastic .... upon that ...that is the most safe way to deliver the natural product which can be damaged by water or moister..... rip ur little brains
Fabulous solution
🍃 Thank You!
Freaking stop showing it aa something new
Indians have been using this since ages
This is beautiful
I love thease ideas
Natural and good idea

Excellent ‼️ Saving the planet one plate at a Time 🤸
Brought back my entire childhood
Thanks
Magnificent!
Super Thanks
I remember we eat in this leaves during summer holidays in grandmother village... Its vary testy
The temples near my home have given prasada in these kind of leaf plates for as long as I can remember. BTW I live in karnataka. In many parties and like housewarming ceremonies it's commonplace to use leaf plates or a banana leaf platter
Wow....this is an awesome and great idea! 👌👍
This is nice 👍🏻...
I just loved it
Cant believe still these plastic plates sell in the market even after this amazing innovation
I really like the aroma of such leaves plate whenever food is served in these..be it in Gurdwara or any other occasions..I don't find such plates in daily life..being an urban guy..but love to being served in these
Amazing country from.the Philippines like this
Very nice and eco friendly
