Verterra: The Dinnerware that Makes You Feel Good To Entertain

January 27, 2009 By: Anna288 Comments

Verterra eco-plates and bowls
Classic Verterra bowls and plates. Check out Verterra giveaway!

I love to entertain and believe in the motto, the more people, the better.However, my love of entertaining has always clashed with my environmental side since I had to use paper plates.Who has service for over 20?


What about biodegradable plates, you might ask? Unfortunately, there is no commercial composter near me where I can dispose of them. My backyard composter is just too small. So, what is a party girl supposed to do?


Verterra to the rescue!These stylish plates and bowls are not only reusable, eco-friendly, but they make a handsome table top statement as well. The dishes are made of 100% renewal and compostable fallen leaves and water, and best of all, do not contain any chemicals, waxes, dyes or harmful toxins.


How do these plates hold it together?The Company simply applies steam, heat and pressure to the fallen leaves to create this disposable dinnerware, which will naturally biodegrade in two months. According to the Company, you can throw them right into the composter.Don’t have a composter?No worries.They will decompose in a landfill.


That’s not all, folks.Verterra tableware are fair trade products as well. All products are made in South Asia where their employees receive a fair wage, work in safe conditions and have access to health care.

Michael Dwork, CEO of Verterra

How did Verterra come to be? The Company is the brainchild of environmentalist, 30’s ish Michael Dwork.While doing an internship in India, he encountered a woman pressing water soaked leaves into a make shift waffle iron.She thereupon pulled out the plate and used it to serve food she was selling.It was an epiphany for Dwork and he spent the rest of his summer and his business school years at Columbia University MBA program refining Verterra’s dinnerware.


How many of you are germ-phobic?It is okay to admit it.We are all friends here.I know some of you are wondering if these plates are sterile. When the leaves are brought to the Company’s owned factory, they are sprayed with high pressure water, steamed, and then UV sterilized.Go ahead and use the plates right away. No need to wash them before use.

Verterra plates after being washed
Ones to the left were washed. The ones to the right were never washed.

The plates are intended for single use, but I have used my plates several times.I clean them with soap and water.The plates end up looking a little wobbly, but I put a couple of apples on them to serve as paper weights to flatten them again.


Oven, microwaves and freezers do not scare these dishes. According to the Company, it is safe to put the plates in the microwave for two minutes or in the oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.You can even store food on them in the fridge or freezer. Talk about hard working dishes!

Pizza stained Verterra plates

Think these plates are too good to be true?They are, except one problem.They stain.Other reviews I read said that the plates stained for tomato sauce or ketchup.Mine did not when I put ketchup and tomato sauce on them.Perhaps, I am too obsessive and wash my dishes too quickly after we are done eating.However, pizza oil stained them.(See picture above.) Beets will also stain the plates.

The Company offers their classic line of 6” hexagon bowl ($7.99/8 pack or $43/for 100), 6 by 9” plate (8.99/8 and $43/100) 7” round bowl ($8.99/12) and 9” square plates ($9.99/8 and $50/100.)

signature plates

In addition, the new Signature line, which can be pre-ordered for delivery in March, 2009, is a sleeker adaptation of the classic line.The plates and bowls come in various sizes ranging form 4 by 4 to 12 by 12 for holiday belt loosening eating.The bowls come in either 6 by 8 or 8 by 8 sizes. Dwork is obviously a party animal himself, since he has left no rock unturned on this alternatives tableware.Verterra also sells platter ranging in size from 7 by 8.5 to 14 by 16, which you can easily fit a roast on. The Signature Line‘s prices vary, and some of the lines can be bought in bulk quantities up to 300 dishes.


Future plans for the Company?A newer seamless e-commerce site and undisclosed distributors will be selling the plates. The web site will have a store locator for your nearest distributor.

Super Bowl and Valentine’s is right around the corner. Even the NBA All Star Weekend VIP party and NFL Super Bowl VIP party chose Verterra’s dinnerware for their parties.How about you?


Even Martha Stewart would love these stylish plates! Compostable, nontoxic, stylish, and Fair Trade.What is not to love?


In fact, Verterra has been kind enough to offer the following tableware to one lucky Green Talk reader:

(4x) 6″ Square
(4x) 10″ Square
(4x) Bowl
(2x) 7″ Tray

    My favorite party food is meringues. If you have a mixer, sugar and eggs – you can make this tasty treat. I like mine with peppermint oil and a few chocolate chips. The best thing is no cooking! You just warm the oven to 250, pop in your meringues, go to bed and wake up to tasty treats. I bet they would be GREAT in these dishes!

    Wow, your dishes are just lovely! Great prize. My favorite party food for the past couple of months is FONDUE! I am literally bringing it back in style with my family and friends. My old fondue pot was collecting dust in my basement, so I put it in our tag sale and no one even looked at it. My husband told me he used to love when we had cheese fondue and chocolate fondue, so I decided to keep it. And are we glad we did! Now this spring when we go to tag sales I will be hunting for fondue pots for my three adult children. They are big fans!

    The article is written as though Michael Dwork or Verterra invented the idea of making plates from leaves, and as though the poor Indian woman was just the helpless apple that fell onto young Newton’s mind. Leaf plates are very common in all parts of India, and have been for centuries. Just go to a Hindu temple in South India, and see what they serve the holy offerings (or prasad) in? It will be a plate or cup made of dried leaves.

    If mass producing such wares is Mr. Dwork’s claim to fame, even there he is not the first. Many Indian companies have been producing such wares for a longer time than Mr. Dwork ever visited India. Just google for “Areca Leaf Plates” and you will know how many Indian companies have been producing what Mr. Dwork apparently spent his entire MBA program “inventing”.

    If you are interested in getting the same products for a fraction of the cost, just direct order from those companies.

      RVHG, Michael states that he saw a woman making the plate which inspired him to create a company around the idea. No one said he invented the plate idea.

      Thanks for the tip of other companies making the same product. Any suggestions? Anna
