From Date Palm Leaves to Sustainable Innovation: The Vision Behind Palmade by Lamis Al Hashimi

This sustainable brand reimagines waste, turning the UAE’s abundant date palms into eco-friendly cutlery and utensils that can be composted, offering an impactful alternative to single-use plastics.

Inspired by the UAE’s natural resources, Lamis created biodegradable products such as forks, spoons, knives, and chopsticks from repurposed date palm leaves. Palmade’s mission is to reduce environmental harm while celebrating local heritage, and it has quickly become a go-to brand for businesses in Dubai and beyond, offering a practical solution to the growing plastic crisis.
