The Biodegradable leaf plate chain converts forest leaves into disposable plates and bowls, providing a steady and reliable income for women from marginalized, rural, and tribal communities located in Odisha. Sal leaves are gathered in the Non-Timber Forest Product (NTFP)/biodegradable leaf-plate value chain, which has empowered women in the rural hinterlands and forestry landscape by connecting them to local and national supply chains for biodegradable leaf products. Its sustainability efforts are committed to good for the planet, business, and communities.
