I remember eating on banana leaves while growing up in India.I wanted to bring this concept to the western world.I started my brand DTOCS inspired by the word "Detox":a cleansing journey for the body and the environment; with these 3 things in mind- Sustainability, usability & community.
Dtocs is a sustainable women-owned small business. We create sustainable single-use disposable dinnerware made from naturally fallen palms for outdoors, households,food and hospitality industry, handcrafted by women artisans in India. We're doing our bit to make the world more green. Will you join us?
Founder Story “Responsible living- towards mother nature, towards our kids and towards our community” That is my Motto and inspiration for DTOCS.
I am Pallavi Pande, a mompreneur based in Portland, Oregon and a proud founder of DTOCS. I am a mother of 2 young DTOCS brand ambassadors and a passionate entrepreneur. I remember eating on banana leaves while growing up in India. Even as a child I loved how this brought us closer to nature in a way that did not cause harm to nature. I started DTOCS with these 3 things in mind- Sustainability, Community and Usability.
DTOCS tableware is made from naturally fallen palm leaves. They are chemical free, plastic free, compostable, microwave safe, elegant and single use disposable. We employ a majority female workforce and part of the proceeds from our sales go towards improving education for the poor local communities in India. DTOCS plates and tableware are made with a focus on quality that makes them a great fit for your daily use as well as weddings and special events.
