FAQ FOR PALM PLATES
The leaves that fall naturally on the ground are collected and washed with fresh water to remove dirt and dust. The leaves are then heat pressed into the desired shapes and sizes. Finally, the plates are cleaned, sterilized, and packaged. You can learn more about the process here.
Our dinnerware from fallen leaves/palm leaf plate line is produced in India.
While they are very durable, they are a disposable product and recommended for single use only. If they were only used for light, dry snacks, it may be possible to wipe with damp cloth. Prolonged submersion in water will cause them to soften, as they are purely natural and not treated with any protective coatings.
No. Our palm leaf products are made from the leaf of the Areca palm tree. Palm oil, which is linked to mass deforestation, is harvested from a completely different variety of palm tree.
No chemicals or additives are used in manufacturing the plates. Only water and heat is used throughout the process.
No. Only naturally fallen, dry leaves are used for manufacturing of these products, which are otherwise waste. The raw material sourced is completely sustainable!
The leaf is completely natural, therefore color variations are normal reflection of this. Since products are not treated with any chemicals or additives, the original colours remain in the products.
Yes, within reason. Save the Planet Palm Leaf plates are significantly more durable than plastic or paper plates.

FAQ FOR WHEAT DRINKING STRAWS
Our straws are naturally grown wheat. They’re basically just the bottom of a cereal plant.
After harvesting cereal plants for food, the remaining stalks are collected and hand-cut into drinking straws. The straws are cleaned with sterilizing methods using hot water. No chemicals or bleach involved.
Yes they are! Our straws are made from the dried stem of the wheat plant, not the grain.
These eco friendly straws are suitable for cold drinks, juices, water, lemonades, cocktails and more. But because of the narrow diameter that vary between 3 – 7 mm, drinking milkshakes and smoothies will be a lot harder through these straws. Therefore we would not recommend them for drinks with a thick structure.
Yes, Save the Planet Wheat Drinking Straws are made from the stem of the wheat plant. These Wheat Drinking Straws are not intended to be eaten or digested and should only be used as a straw to drink various liquids. Our straws are rinsed thoroughly three times before packing to ensure quality.
Hay and grass allergens can vary person to person, and everybody is different. If you suffer from severe allergies to hay or grass we recommend you consult your doctor or allergist before using Save the Planet Wheat Drinking Straws.
FAQ FOR PLANTABLE STATIONARY
Yes, it completely is! Our vision for Save the Planet Plantable Stationary was to make it completely safe for everyone. We knew that kids tend to chew on the pencils – which is why we made sure that we use the highest quality non-toxic, kid-safe solution to bind the newspapers together.
It sure does. Infact, Save the Planet Plantable Pencils sharpens much easier than traditional wood pencils – since paper is smoother and softer than wood. Also, it is oven dried for 24 hours, making the newspaper crisp and easy to sharpen. This also helps increase the life span of the sharpener. Hurray!
Absolutely NOT! The lead is high quality, 2HB standard, and will give you an amazing experience when you write. In addition, since each pencil is made by the rolling process, the graphite core is always perfectly centered – unlike wood pencils that may have the lead non-centered. Non-centered leads tend to break when sharpened, not the centered lead.
No. In fact, it’s a myth that pencils contain lead as lead has not been used in any pencils since Roman times! The Save the Planet pencil is 100% natural and non-toxic.
Save the Planet pens/pencils are non-toxic and completely safe – even if you eat the seed capsule. This contains a bit of tree flour and some seeds and is completely harmless if ingested – although it won’t taste great!
That depends on the plant variant. One of our fastest and most popular variants is basil, which germinates between five and ten days after planting. In just two weeks, you can have a pot of fresh basil.
The pencil stub basically functions as a name tag for the seed type of your pencil. It’s 100% biodegradable and will decompose if buried.
No. The pencil stub has absolutely no impact on the new plant.
Most definitely! Any logo or message can easily be engraved on the side of the pen/pencil and the packaging can also be designed with your logo or messaging. The only condition is that you order a minimum of 500 quantities.
The idea is to plant the pencil stub when it’s too short to write or color with. This gives it a new lease on life. Instead of being thrown away, the Save the Planet pencil becomes a symbol of sustainability. Use n Grow and not Use n Throw!
Yes, they come in eight colors and classic gray. Each color has its own plant variant. See the product catalog for more details.
