Decomposing Is Better Than Recycling

Decomposing Is Better Than Recycling Recycling is a zeitgeist of our days. In recycling we make more efficient use of our limited natural resources. But in recycling is only useful if the materials are actually re-used. Perhaps even better than recycling is the use of materials that are naturally decomposable. Exactly that is the core idea of Leefgedanken a company founded by the German entrepreneur and scientist Claudio Vietta. Vietta uses large leafs that have fallen from trees in India. These dropped leaves are not only plentiful and inexpensive, they are also natural. After the collection, Vietta washes the leaves and shapes them by means of a steam press. The result are beautiful, clean and natural plates of various sizes. Viettas plates can simply be thrown away. Within months they naturally rot and become nutrients to the soil. Such plates environmental footprint is essentially zero. Quite literally, Viette borrows these leaves from the nature. The nature appreciates this fact. And so can BBQers who enjoy eating from these beautiful and natural plates.  Decomposing is better than recycling. Viettas created his decomposable plates by borrowing concepts from Industrial Engineering and Environmental Engineering.
