Choose a Plate That Respects the Planet.

An Ecofriendly tableware made from agricultural waste — designed to replace plastic, empower rural communities, and return safely to the earth.

agreenplate

We are creating a new way of thinking about everyday consumption — one that respects the earth, empowers communities, and connects local effort with global responsibility.

Our work begins at the grassroots: with people, livelihoods, and purpose. And it reaches outward — to businesses, institutions, and global markets seeking meaningful, sustainable alternatives.

This is not just about replacing a product.
It’s about restoring balance between nature, enterprise, and society.

Impact That Goes Beyond the Product

Every plate carries a story — of people, purpose, and progress.

At the grassroots level, we focus on:

Livelihood creation in rural and semi-urban communities

Skills development and inclusive participation

Strengthening women’s role in value chains and decision-making

At the global level, we contribute to:

Responsible consumption and production

Climate-conscious business practices

Export-ready solutions aligned with international sustainability goals

A Return with Purpose

I didn’t start agreenplate with a factory, a big team, or a perfect plan. I started it with a question that wouldn’t leave me alone.

Why does something used for a few minutes stay on this earth for hundreds of years?

Like many others, I had always been uncomfortable with plastic disposables — especially at gatherings, takeaways, and celebrations. Plates used once, thrown away, and forgotten. But the impact stays.

As a mother, this question began to feel personal. Instead of rushing toward scale, I chose to understand the problem first — materials, processes, and what it truly means for something to return to the earth. Working with plant-based agricultural waste, I started experimenting, learning, failing, and improving.

This venture reflects my belief that:

– Women can return stronger after career breaks.

– Businesses can serve both profit and purpose

– Legacy is not inherited — it is rebuilt with responsibility
