Saves natural resources, reduces pollution. Natural grease resistant coating, microwave safe. 100% recycled paper, hypo-allergenic, whitened without chlorine bleach. Thank you for purchasing seventh generations products and for caring enough to help make the world a healthier and safer place for this and the next seven generations - Jeffery Hollender, founder and president. You are making a difference. If every household in the U.S. replaced just one 40 count package of virgin fiber paper with 100% recycled ones, we could save: 487,700 trees; 1.2 million cubic feet of landfill space, equal to 1,800 full garbage trucks; 176 million gallons of water, a year's supply for 1,300 families of four; and avoid 29,900 pounds of pollution. Seventh Generation paper plates are made from 100% recycled paper, with a minimum of 83% post-consumer materials. Our napkins are whitened with an environmentally safe process - never with chlorine bleach. Your choice of our paper plates makes an important difference today, and for the next seven generations. This product is free of dyes, inks and fragrances. Made in USA.
