Vision
Sustainable consumption is only possible in circular processes.
This the use of natural, composting materials - a circular process in which we borrow from nature, use, and then reintegrate seamlessly.
We believe that using leaves as a material in daily life will be a part of our future, as it has been for thousands of generations before us. We adopted this human tradition and transformed it into (Palm) Leaf 2.0: Beautiful and sustainable leaves for modern living.
Leaves will carry and deliver our food, package our products and substitute all kinds of plastic fast-moving consumer goods that presently pollute our world.
As a natural by-product, leaves are the only natively carbon-neutral and emission-free material for disposables and packaging. Beautiful and ready to be reshaped with good karma into usable products for our modern needs.
They were simply waiting to be retaken into the economy of tomorrow. Until now.
Mission
We want to be the driving force & principal supplier of innovative leaf-products in the world!
- Because each leaf that is sold is one piece of plastic less that will hang around for thousands of years.
- Because each leaf that we make available for our modern lifestyle is a tactile connection to nature – bringing her beauty into our urban lives.
- Because each leaf used is an investment from urban spaces into rural communities.
With know-how, process management, agility, social engagement and much experience, we are the bridge between the world of modern industry and fair leaf manufacturing.
Understanding both sides, we want LEEF to be the platform and go to address for any leaf-based solution in the modern world - be it the market access for manufacturers or sourcing for industrial needs.
Inventing the best products and applications for our client needs is part of our mission, as it is the development of circular production processes to protect nature and humanity.
Our mission is to bring the beauty of our leaves to you, ensure reliability of service and constantly drive for innovation. We achieve this through respect, fairness, cooperation, and backbone.
Because this is how we want our future to be.
The borrowing principle
Produced by nature, leaves are the only natively* carbon neutral and emission free material for disposables. They remain untreated and are therefore suitable for industrial and domestic composting.

What are the downsides of other materials used for disposable tableware and take-away?
Eco-friendly materials like paper, bioplastics, bagasse, pulp and fiber face the same downsides as conventional packaging materials such as plastics, aluminums and styrophoam.
High carbon footprint
All other materials are made from fossil or artificial materials that require a lot of carbon and resources to manufacture.
Toxic chemicals
They need toxic chemicals like PFAS to be glued together to withstand liquids, heat, and fat.
Not compostable
Other Products do not naturally compost, so they do not seamlessly reintegrate back into nature.

Other materials
Produced by nature, leaves are the only natively* carbon neutral and emission free material for disposables. They remain untreated and are therefore suitable for industrial and domestic composting.
Industrial material processing typically involves large plants with high energy and water consumption. Toxic wastewater is often dumped or purified in another industrial plant.
Disposal of "compostable" materials such as bagasse and pulp can be problematic due to their inability to decompose into usable compost or fertilizer and their potential contamination of compost and groundwater. Coating paper for use with food prevents it from being recycled.
