Bangladesh produces a wide range of disposable items from Areca, Sal and Siali leaves, offering an eco-friendly alternative to single-use plastic and styrofoam. At NISSUL, we collect fallen leaves, clean and sterilise them, then press them into strong plates, bowls and platters.

Through JAR WORLD in Chittagong and the wider JAR GROUP network, these products reach local catering businesses as well as global importers, supermarkets and hospitality brands that are serious about sustainability.
