About us

Everything from a single source. Naturally well-thought-out. 💚

Protecting our environment and its resources is what drives us at wisefood every day. For us, it is an absolute necessity to consider sustainability when it comes to the future of the catering and events industry. That is why we rely on disposable tableware and packaging made from renewable raw materials such as palm leaf, sugarcane, wood, or bamboo – for restaurants, cafés, hotels, catering, or private and public events.


Whether for street food, take-away, or equipment for an entire festival: we think in terms of solutions, not standard goods. From small packages to shipping containers, we supply every order size – and because not every application requires the same material, we look for the right fit for every purpose. The result is over 500 selected, field-tested products for serving, packaging, and take-away – all from a single source, reliable in everyday use and with an eye on price – because we know what counts in the catering industry.

wisefood became known for its edible drinking straws; our range now includes many other products, such as edible cups and cutlery. In addition, we are always looking for new ways to intelligently utilize agricultural by-products such as palm leaves, sugarcane, or apple pomace: raw materials whose production requires no additional energy and which would otherwise be thrown away are given a second life with us.

Thank you for shopping with us – together we make a difference! 🌍

Thinking ahead together

Thinking ahead together

Since 2025, we have been part of the LEEF Blattwerk Group and are continuing our journey under a new roof – but with the same drive: making packaging sustainable. Together, LEEF & wisefood are palm leaf pioneers and solution partners for the catering industry: tableware, packaging, and individual concepts made from natural materials, all from a single source. Our customers benefit from an even wider selection, new materials, and expanded logistics structures. 

Our shops, our products, and our stance remain the same – just with even more possibilities. And that is exactly what we have been awarded the German Sustainability Award 2026 for. We are now officially “leaders in smart, environmentally friendly, and climate-conscious packaging solutions”! This recognition shows that our work with circular materials and the use of agricultural by-products is making an impact!

It's great to have you with us as we rethink packaging. 💚

From idea to brand – the wisefood story

From idea to brand – the wisefood story

It all started as a student project – and within a few years, it grew into a rapidly expanding company. The starting signal: edible drinking straws made from apple fibers, the SUPERHALM. With this, we turned a byproduct of apple juice production into an edible alternative to plastic straws – and immediately demonstrated what we are all about: conserving resources, relying on renewable raw materials, and leaving as few traces as possible. From this, a comprehensive product range has grown: everything that the catering and events industry needs in terms of single-use tableware and packaging, from plates and bowls to cups and cutlery, as well as candles, napkins, and take-away solutions.

wisefood became well-known through the TV show "Die Höhle der Löwen" (The Lion's Den) and television programs such as Galileo and the ARD Mittagsmagazin. We have been supported and honored with numerous awards, such as Germany - Land of Ideas, the TRANSGOURMET Newcomer Award, the Top 50 Cleantech Startups, METRO NX FOOD, and the EIT Food Award. For our international expansion, we were also supported by the German Accelerator, a support program for young German companies founded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. 

Today, we supply the catering and events industry, retail, and bulk consumers in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and more than 20 other countries. We have and have had many well-known clients, such as GORILLAS, ALDI, REWE, EDEKA, TRANSGOURMET, METRO, MIGROS.
