People should continue to look to find alternative uses for everyday things especially in evironmentally safe ways. If more things were engineered out of waste we would be able to conserve a lot more of our fossil fuels. These plates are very cool.

You could even eat the plate for an extra dose of fiber. I think food will taste better on a leaf. You could even eat the plate for an extra dose of fiber.

I have a giant dried out palm leaf that's just decoration and I always wondered if you could make stuff with it... looks like you can! Their website claims the plates are microwave, oven, and refrigerator safe, but I wouldn't try the broiler or dishwasher with them. If you're not a fan of flat plates, you can soak them in water and they will get really pliable again. Surfing around their website I noticed that the bottom of every page has "Shop Verterra.com now!" to push you to buy them. Even in the small 96 pack, they are under $1 per plate, which easily puts them in the gladware price range, but much more elegant. Cool! Interesting idea.

They have a modern/retro look. I could see them being used in decades past but they also have the look of something made in this decade. I like the concept behind them as well. It will be interesting to see what else is going to be made from this material. I like the design. They have a modern/retro look.

With it seems like everyone these days wanting organic and green products, these plates would be a great solution! This could definately have potential.

Plus its something kinda cool to brag about to your friends and makes you look good at the same time.
