Speed & Simplicity food contact approved green colorful napkin

Can we have beautiful colored paper napkins while reducing the chemical need?

WE LOVE:

  • Colored napkins to enrich our dinner and picnics
  • Napkins that do not stain our hands and clothes
  • Colored paper for arts & craft that stays as the artist intended it

BUT DID YOU KNOW:

  • Often fixatives need to be used during colored tissue & fine paper production to ensure the dye stays on the paper fiber…
  • …this is increasing the chemical consumption and adding complexity
