Conservia Partners

Conservia Partners is an Indian manufacturer and exporter of disposable tableware made from naturally fallen areca palm leaves. The firm operates under the trading brand Ecodyne Tableware and is headquartered in Manjeshwara, Kasaragod district, Kerala, about 45 minutes from New Mangalore Port (INMAA). Its manufacturing base is in Karnataka, where it runs 90 production units, with the main facility powered entirely by solar energy. Conservia Partners was founded in 2009 by Vinay Manjeshwar, who had spent 18 years in IT, product engineering and outsourcing before moving into manufacturing. The company's first export followed in 2010. Ecodyne Tableware produces palm leaf plates (also called areca leaf plates), bowls, platters, trays and compartment plates. The plates are hydraulically pressed at 200°C from areca catechu palm sheaths without chemicals, dyes or coatings. The range covers round plates from 4 to 12 inches and square plates from 6 to 10 inches, alongside bowls, platters and compartment plates. Standard packaging is 25 pieces per pack and 100 pieces per outer carton. The company reports a verified capacity of 4.5 million units per month, with documented scalability to 9 million units per month within 75 days against a confirmed annual programme. Conservia Partners operates strictly business-to-business, with no consumer retail. About 75% of revenue comes through partner brands as white-label or OEM supply, and the remaining 25% is sold under the Ecodyne brand, notably in Israel and Saudi Arabia. The company says it supplies 32 white-label brands across 19 export countries on four continents, including Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Israel and Australia. Its minimum order is one 40ft high-cube container, roughly 300,000 to 350,000 units, with mixed sizes accepted at no extra charge and shipped FOB New Mangalore Port. It commits to loading a container within 10 working days of a confirmed purchase order and 50% advance payment, backed by a 1% per day delay penalty in every supply contract. Its supply network is built around approximately 810 partner farming families across 2,000 hectares of organic farmland in four Karnataka districts, guided by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research — Central Plantation Crops Research Institute (CPCRI), with a seven-year organic farming partnership. The company reports 262 direct employees, 900 trained micro-entrepreneurs and about 1,972 people in total in its supply network, and ships 125–180 containers annually. Its certification stack includes LFGB §30 §31, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, BSCI and USDA Bio-Preferred, with a 90–120 day biodegradation profile for its products.

Conservia Partners was founded in 2009 by Vinay Manjeshwar, who had spent 18 years in IT, product engineering and outsourcing before deciding to move into manufacturing. The company was established as a registered partnership firm under the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, with its partnership deed registered with the Registrar of Firms in Karnataka. Its first export followed in 2010, beginning a trajectory that would take its products to 19 countries across four continents. The business was built around a single material: the naturally fallen sheath of the areca catechu palm. Rather than cutting trees, Conservia Partners collects sheaths that drop naturally, then hydraulically presses them at 200°C into plates, bowls, platters and compartment plates without chemicals, dyes or coatings. This approach positioned the company in the emerging market for compostable disposable tableware, which it anticipated would become regulated over the following decade. Over the years, Conservia Partners expanded its manufacturing footprint to 90 production units, with its main facility in Karnataka running entirely on solar power. It developed a supply network of approximately 810 partner farming families across 2,000 hectares of organic farmland in four Karnataka districts, guided by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research — Central Plantation Crops Research Institute (CPCRI), with a seven-year organic farming partnership. The company reports 262 direct employees, 900 trained micro-entrepreneurs and about 1,972 people in total in its supply network. Commercially, Conservia Partners pursued a strictly B2B model with no consumer retail. About 75% of revenue passes through partner brands as white-label or OEM supply, and the remaining 25% is sold under the Ecodyne brand, notably in Israel and Saudi Arabia. The company says it supplies 32 white-label brands across 19 export countries, including Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Israel and Australia. It ships 125–180 containers annually. By the mid-2020s, Conservia Partners reported a verified capacity of 4.5 million units per month, with documented scalability to 9 million units per month within 75 days against a confirmed annual programme. It built a certification stack including LFGB §30 §31, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, BSCI and USDA Bio-Preferred, and a 90–120 day biodegradation profile for its products. Its commercial terms include a minimum order of one 40ft high-cube container (roughly 300,000 to 350,000 units), mixed sizes accepted at no extra charge, FOB New Mangalore Port, and a 10-working-day container loading commitment backed by a 1% per day delay penalty written into every supply contract.
