As people across the world look for environment-friendly alternatives to plastic and thermocol cutlery, traditional Indian leaf plates, known by many local names like pattal, vistaraku, patravali, dona (leaf bowl), could be inching towards a new global market.Literally translated, Vistar in Telugu means spread and aku means leaf - leaf plate. Founded in February 2019, Vistaraku makes bowls and plates from leaves of palash (flame of the forest or sacred tree) as well as siali, a large-leafed creeper that grows around sal trees. It also makes forks, spoons and knives using birchwood.
