"I'm obsessed with maaterra. Finally disposable plates I can use and not feel terrible about what I'm doing to our planet. I'm in love."

"These plates are the absolute best. I've been searching for the perfect sustainable disposable plate for forever. The ones I've found either look tacky and are eco-friendly or look nice but wreck havoc on the environment. I love these plates because they look sophisticated, AND they don't hurt the earth."

Imperfectly perfect markings and textures are as natural and varied as the earth from which they came.
