MATERIAL DESCRPTION The Areca palm (Areca Catechu Linn), is extensively cultivated in South India as a cash crop, gives a strong and supple material that is amenable to various shaping. This product is obtained from the plant leaf part, which in the course of its biological life cycle, dries, falls and degenerates. The naturally shed leaf sheath is strong, odorless, water and heat resistant. Areca palm leaf sheath has its own natural grains and characteristic texture, very much similar to those seen in furniture grade wood. The outer surface of the sheath is greenish or brown, waxy and tough, while the inner surface is creamy in color and has natural grains and glossy finish. An added advantage with this material is that it can be used to bake foodstuff and can even tolerate microwave cooking.

It is then hand washed in pure water. The leaves are then rinsed third time in fresh water. 3. Once clean, the palm sheaths are allowed to air dry. 4. The clean & dry palm leaves are then molded into various shapes using heated press. Multiple plates of different shapes and sizes are often cut from each leaf in order to reduce waste. 5. Once pressed into shape, each plate is further cleaned with air jet to remove any dust produced in the cutting process. 6. Cleaned plates are packed in 25 pieces / unit and shrink wrapped. 7.
