Yanko Design

In 2013, *Yanko Design* highlighted Sahar Madanat’s innovative product, *Plate-Oh!*, a biodegradable plate constructed with 10 individual layers. Instead of discarding the plate after one use, consumers can peel away the top used layer, revealing a fresh plate underneath. This concept extends the lifecycle of paper plates, reducing waste, and eliminating the need for water-consuming clean-up. The plate’s compact design features a natural adhesive around the edges to hold the layers together, except for one corner left unglued for easy peeling. This solution combines practicality with sustainability, addressing both environmental impact and user convenience.
