Jeff Lindenthal
Founder
Jeff founded Green Field in 1992. The company grew out of a thesis project Jeff wrote on reinventing a Boston paper mill to produce recycled paper. A former recycling program coordinator, he specialized in finding unusual recycled materials to incorporate into paper. Jeff’s belief is that the future of recycled paper must include high post-consumer content along with some non-wood fiber, a philosophy that is embodied in every Green Field product today.
