Eco-Plates

Agri View in Mozambique is creating biodegradable, plantable plates, called Eco-Plates, as a sustainable alternative to conventional disposable tableware. Made from maize husk waste sourced from smallholder farmers, the plates biodegrade naturally when thrown away and contain seeds that sprout when planted, transforming a waste product into a non-polluting alternative to plastic, as well as a potential renewable food source, depending on the choice of seeds.
