We are an exporter of quality Bioplates having tie-ups in Oceania & South Africa.
Each and every day we are inspired by our name Earthens which means, \"made of earth.\" At Earthens, being inspired means doing what we do best – producing foodware that\'s biodegradable, durable, compostable, stylish and stands out for its natural look and feel. We stay true to the earth by using an agricultural byproduct - fallen palm leaves - that we borrow (and frequently save from being burned) and then return to the earth.
The Begining:
EARTHENS was started by Ashima and Nilesh in 2012, inspired by their childhood experiences in native India and the increasingly green lifestyle they saw around them. Nilesh often visits Indian villages away from his urban lifestyle to feel its simple and sustainable living- long walks in abundant millet fields, drinking cool fresh water out of a well, and eating meals on leaf plates! Once on a business trip he went to South India and came back with some plates & bowls made from palm leaves. He showed those simple biodegradable plates to his sister-in-law Ashima during her India visit. This started Ashima on a journey to refine what she saw that day into a stylish, durable and truly environmentally-friendly line of single-use dinnerware.
The Project:
The project is quite simple. India is a rapidly developing country but some rural people find it difficult to find a rewarding job. Earthens is founded on the belief that these natural, sustainable, elegant and stylish products could help change the lives of the people who make them in rural India as well as helping to reduce non-biodegradable waste going to landfill in Oceania, South Africa & India.
