Disposable Paper Napkins

Whether it is a special holiday, family dinner, or a formal gathering with all your acquaintances coming over, it's all in the fine details. From the way you present your appetizers to the table settings and sleek details in which you fold the disposable napkins, you can voo your guests with some easy hosting hacks.Β 

That said, if you are keen on having some napkin-holding techniques up your sleeves, this is it. Read on to explore some unique skill sets of napkin folding art and why bamboo napkins are something you should be choosing for all gatherings.

Why Choose Disposable Bamboo Napkins?

We promise we'll make it quick. Regular paper napkins are cut out from paper, which is a not-so-renewable resource. They are made by cutting out trees. And, apart from the sustainability claim, they aren't too functional either. For starters, these disposable paper napkins are slathered in toxins that can cause harsh reactions. Moreover, they are not absorbent either. And, when it comes to messy hands, slathered in all that butter and spices, paper napkins are the least you would wanna rely on.

However, bamboo napkins are more than just sustainability claims. For starters, these eco-friendly napkins are made from bamboo, which is grass and not a tree. To be precise, bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants on earth, with some species growing 36 inches in just 24 hours.

Other than this, these napkins are also compostable and go back into the soil within just a few weeks after disposal. These napkins break down into nutrient-rich compost, which can be added to soil as manure. Moreover, these napkins are 2-ply, making them super absorbent. The napkins, made from bamboo, are also naturally antibacterial.
