About MAXGreen AGRO
MAXGreen AGRO operates in Puttur with a setup that includes a 2300 sq ft raw material storage space and a 2500 sq ft production area. The enterprise focuses on manufacturing top-notch, 100% biodegradable areca leaf plates through a structured process. Fallen leaves shed by betel nut trees are collected by agriculturalists and sorted based on quality. These raw materials are cleaned with fresh water, scrubbed, and treated with a pressure wash before being fed into hydraulic heat presses to be molded and cut into desired shapes and sizes.
The manufacturing process continues with edge trimming, wire brush scrubbing for a smooth finish, and optional dry heat sterilization upon request. Following quality checks to eliminate items that do not meet standards, the finished goods are shrink-wrapped in polyolefin or HDPE bags in packs of 25, then packed in carton boxes for shipping. The facility functions with a team of trained and skilled employees managing production, hygiene, and product quality. The operation utilizes no chemicals, additives, or bonding agents during production, ensuring that the final dinnerware is completely compostable and safe for environmental disposal.
The enterprise offers custom areca leaf products, bulk ordering, and areca leaf plate machines and servicing. The durable dinnerware can be heated in a microwave oven for two to three minutes up to 150 degrees Celsius, stored in a refrigerator or freezer, and used to serve hot, cold, or fluid food items such as soups and ice creams without soaking liquids for three to four hours.
