According to Norwex Movement, "50% of the U.S. population uses 3 paper napkins a day, that totals 450,000,000 napkins for 1 day—or more than 164 billion per year" (Norwex Movement). The disposal of these napkins contributes to waste and pollution. However, "one company is now even offering a set of napkins made from 50% recycled materials. In fact, each set of four contains the equivalent of five 500 ml plastic beverage bottles. So not only are trees being saved—and paper waste reduced—but the problem of plastic pollution is also being addressed" (Norwex Movement). Gourmesso offers the solution of fabric napkins in which they explain that " these fabric napkins are reusable and can often last several years before needing to be replaced. The amount of resources that are required to help wash a pile of fabric napkins every week is a lot less damaging towards the environment than the resources and waste that go toward producing and consuming single-use paper towels" (Gourmesso). These napkins can be purchased on Amazon for $19.99 for a pack of 12, overall saving you a lot of money in the long run as well as helloing reduce your own plastic waste.
