Why Use If You Care FSC® Certified Parchment Baking Paper?
Each year more than 30 million acres of natural forests are destroyed by illegal logging and land clearance.
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) promotes responsible forest management through a rigorous certification system of forests and forest products.
When you buy If You Care FSC Certified Parchment Baking Paper you know the paper is from forests that comply with the most rigorous environmental and social standards.
Every year about 80 million tons of waste (U.S. EPA figure) that goes to U.S. landfills is material which could be turned into compost under the right conditions.
In landfills, this organic material (food, scraps, etc.) releases methane-a powerful greenhouse gas-contributing to global warming.
Diverting food scraps from landfill to compost facilities contributes significantly to preserving our planet and natural resources.
If You Care Certified Compostable Parchment Baking Paper is certified for municipal or commercial composting as well as for backyard or home composting.
If You Care Parchment Baking Paper is made from unbleached totally chlorine-free (TCF) paper. Since no chlorine or chlorine derivatives are used to produce our papers, no chlorine or chlorine derivatives get dumped into our lakes, rivers, or streams.
