Our mission is to help business owners and individual consumers reduce their footprint by providing an easy way to buy sustainable and environmentally conscious alternatives to the standard virgin-fiber imprinted napkins or cloth napkins. To reduce our environmental impact we offer eco-friendly and sustainable options that align with our commitment to environmental responsibility and stewardship.
We offer sustainable options
B.E. Green Napkin Company is your ideal solution for premium 100% recycled custom printed cocktail napkins that are crafted from sustainably sourced reclaimed recycled materials, setting a new standard in sustainability. We also produce custom printed personalized luncheon, dinner, and guest towel sized napkins made from recycled content.

Unlike conventional printed napkins that often use less eco-friendly production methods, our custom recycled cocktail napkins are manufactured in our own sister recycled paper mill, ensuring minimal environmental impact throughout the entire production process. We use only FDA-approved, soy-based, food-quality ink in our digital printing process to ensure safety for both consumers and the environment.
Our recycled paper mill helps to reduce environmental damage
B.E. Green Napkin Company is part of a family-owned group of companies which includes our recycled paper mill source with 119 years of experience in the paper manufacturing industry. Our paper mill uses reclaimed paper fiber to make 100% FSC-Certified recycled tissue paper made from premium sustainably reclaimed fiber which would otherwise go to a landfill. All paper manufacturing and napkin production and printing is done under one roof, supporting our dedication to sustainability and a low carbon footprint. This eliminates the negative environmental impact related to over-the-road transportation of master paper rolls to the converting location.

Environmentally Conscious Products
We offer environmentally conscious alternatives to virgin-fiber paper and cloth napkins
Recycled paper vs. virgin fiber or cloth napkins
1. Most disposable napkins are made of the fiber from trees
Most paper napkins are made from virgin wood pulp. Although is a renewable resource, it is not the best choice for sustainability as it lacks recycled fiber content, and uses a significantly higher amount of other resources such as energy and water to make it. Each ton of virgin fiber paper requires approximately twenty four large trees or two tons of wood. We recycle approximately 1.1 tons of reclaimed paper to produce each ton of our recycled paper.
2. Cloth napkins require more energy and water to clean.
Washing and drying cloth napkins uses a lot of energy and water and discharges detergents into our wastewater systems.
3. Paper napkins decompose quickly.
Paper napkins made of recycled fiber are biodegradable and compostable. Given the proper conditions, it takes only one to six months for a recycled paper napkin to decompose to enrich the soil rather than take up valuable landfill space.
4. Cloth napkins often contain harmful chemicals.
Many cloth napkins are treated with chemicals such as formaldehyde to make them wrinkle-free. These chemicals can be released into the air when the napkins are used and can be harmful to your health.
5. Paper napkins are more affordable.
Paper napkins are usually much more cost effective than cloth napkins.
