About Maaterra

maaterra is a woman-owned, family-run business.

We introduced maaterra because we discovered a gap in the disposable tableware category between beautifully designed products and highly sustainable ones. Our mission is to create products that don’t ask you to compromise on what you desire and what you value.

We launched with beautifully etched palm leaf plates that are 100% compostable because they are simply a leaf. Our plates can be customized to showcase a logo, name, visual, or design making them a sophisticated and impactful showpiece at events.

Staying Sustainable

We see sustainability as an iterative process and are committed to always seeking the better solution.

  • We launched maaterra with 100% compostable palm leaf plates. They are etched with light and nothing else is added to them (no varnishes, lacquers, or inks). They are simply a leaf and so can be disposed of in a home or industrial compost. Our plates are Compost Manufacturing Alliance-certified.

  • We are in the process of adding Forest Stewardship Council-certified bamboo utensils, plant-based plastic cups, and 100% cotton napkins. All of our products are compostable.

  • We have partnered with 1% of the Planet since our inception.

  • We offset our carbon footprint through We Are Neutral.
