Nope. First like ablack said it's a random, unsolicited email. Next there isn't any information about prices. By looking at the site you can tell it was just something thrown together. I would have to say it's a poor attempt to try and capitalize on the "go green" movement. I also found it amusing that on their comparative study they have paper as unbreakable and non microwaveable.

They deteriorate and are cheap. ECO FRIENDLY BOWLS. what’s wrong with paper plates and bowls? They deteriorate and are cheap.

I think this has some potential but needs some work. It would be expensive to ship and i can buy paper plates for 99 cents at walmart. Nice idea, not really feasible, at least for me personally.

It would be interesting to find out how many leads they actually get from these mass emails that the company appears to send out. Maybe once the company gets running a bit, it could partner with a legitimate eco friendly company overseas. Seems like a decent concept for a product in the green revolution that is going on now.

I have yet to hear anyone complain about their plates and bowls not being eco-friendly enough though. Even though the products are biodegradable and are good for the environment, I dont see a market for them here in the United States. There are many things people can do to be more 'green', buying biodegradable plates would not help the environment more than say buying a hybrid vehicle. The idea is interesting.

At my old job we would always get these scam requests from Africa and South America. I would never trust a random, unsolicited email requesting a buy or sell from these people.

It does not look very prefossional. As for the products, some standardized testing on strength and sanitary conditions with the process might be worthwhile.

Awesome idea but not too do-able outside of that continent. Maybe if they could get crops going in central/south America to cut down on shipping costs, something could be done about it. Logistics aside, it's still a decent product and although India is a much more environmentally conscious country, it still strikes the Green Chord overseas.

As mentioned, the shipping costs to the US are going to drive up the price. Also, are these plates just supposed to replace disposable plates? I don't see them being able to hold up in the dishwasher. I didn't see anywhere where it said they were dishwasher safe. Not very many people want to wash their own dishes. I would prefer just to buy some normal plates and 'go green' in other places. Nice idea, but I don’t see it being very practical.
