The invention provides ecological decorative paper and a production method thereof. The ecological decorative paper is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 15-20 parts of softwood pulp fiber, 15-20 parts of hardwood pulp fiber, 10-20 parts of polyester fiber, and 40-50 parts of modified thermoset resin. The ecological decorative paper is produced through steps of size degradation, beating, molding, drying, gluing, drying in a baking oven, sheeting and packaging by a fourdrinier machine. The product possesses the following advantages: 1, the product is good in eveness, stable in quality and stable in thickness, does not contain formaldehyde, melamine and other harmful substances, and is healthy and friendly to environment; 2, the product possesses good thermosetting performance, and therefore the product and a single plate and a decoration layer can be directly subjected to hot pressing for preparing a decoration sheet material, operations of sanding, glue preparation, glue blending, glue coating and the like of a single plate and a surface plate are saved, and production time, raw material cost and labor cost are saved. The product is a truly environment-friendly health product. The method of using the ecological paper for replacing the surface layer of a lumber core board is initially created in household sheet material industry, and the excellent performances of the product surly will bring revolutionary change for household sheet material industry.
