We have been eating food since our childhood in the leaf plates. Still at function in Villages food is served in the leaf plates. We often call them as ‘Pattal’ or ‘donnai’ and have few more names in other parts of the country.
Previously in US, they discovered Yoga and named it as ‘Cardiac Coherence Breathing’ and now in Germany after the years of designing, prototyping and testing they invented the biodegradable Leaf plates.
A German company, Leaf Republic manufactures plates and tableware made up of leaves. These plates are 100% biodegradable.
The company proudly mark it as there invention, little that they know about Indian been using it since ages. But, the west country are proudly marking it as there which didn’t go well with desi Twitter.
These disposable plates are made entirely out of leaves 🍃🍽 pic.twitter.com/y3VWc6Air4

Desi Twitter in no time got them back to the basic. Letting them know that the years of research is not a invention — but, just calming.

Do some research, in India we have been using this for centuries if not thousands of years.

Shame on Germans , they once stole our valuable books from Saraswati Mahal Library in Thanjavur in 30’s and are it again.

Now they are making businesses out of it, when we should be the ones doing it. And we are not even getting the proper credit for it.

Indians have been using these since like last 3000 years but then foreign Invaders started propaganda that Bone-China crockery is posh.
Costs only 4-5 cents. The native name is “Pattal” – where patta means leaves.
Can be made of a wide variety of leaves. pic.twitter.com/s7guaARaK3
