You are making a Difference™
If every household in the U.S. replaced just one 500 count package of virgin fiber napkins with 100% recycled ones, we could save: 3,000,000 trees, 6,000,000 cubic feet of landfill space, equal to 11,600 full garbage trucks, 1.1 billion gallons of water, a year's supply for 8,600 families of four, and avoid 115,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
Seventh Generation unbleached napkins are made from 100% recycled paper. Your choice of our napkins makes an important difference today, and for the next seven generations. Here's how:
Recycling paper prevents unnecessary landfilling of valuable resources. In addition to saving trees, producing recycled paper uses less water and energy than paper made from trees. Post-consumer materials are those that we recycle from our homes and offices that would otherwise be placed into landfills. The natural color of these napkins comes from the mix of colors in the cardboard, office waste, and other paper materials recycled into this product. These materials often end up in landfills because there is insufficient demand for them. By reusing them in our products, we put them to work, not into the ground, and help "close the loop" to encourage more recycling and less waste of valuable resources. Our Jumbo package of napkins helps reduce packaging waste and less fuel is used to transport these napkins from our factory to you because we compress the equivalent of two packages into one (without taking up any more space.)
