Looking for ideas and products that will make holiday entertaining a breeze without weighing on your eco-conscience? If so, VerTerra is for you.

VerTerra is the first outlet to bring out the world’s first truly environmentally friendly, single-use dinnerware. VerTerra makes holiday entertaining easy, stylish and worry-free. Each one-of-a-kind piece, made only from fallen palm leaves and water, is 100% compostable and brings a unique and stylish touch to any holiday table. VerTerra plates are also great for sending leftovers and treats home with your guests.

Some fun facts about VerTerra:

1. Plates can go straight from the microwave, oven or freezer to your table

2. Once guests have left, you just rinse plates and toss them in the yard (ok, ok, or in the composter)

3. In 60 days, the plates will completely compost. Lab results even show plant growth improved by 20% when VerTerra had composted in the soil

4. Winner of Expo East’s Best New Green/ Environmentally Product Award 2008

What began as an idea inspired by the plates used at a roadside stand in India has grown into a company that supplies its compostable dinnerware to over 500 global events, select retailers and directly to consumers, making a difference in the world, one party at a time.
