🌍 Why unbleached baking paper?

TCF certificate - Totally Chlorine Free

The baking paper has a TCF certificate, which means totally chlorine-free. Conventional baking papers are often bleached with chlorine or chlorine compounds, which create toxic by-products such as dioxins, furans, and chlorinated hydrocarbons.

How are conventional baking papers bleached?

1. Chlorine bleaching - the most harmful method creating dioxins
2. ECF bleaching - uses chlorine dioxide, less harmful but still chemical
3. Peroxide bleaching - uses hydrogen peroxide
4. Optical brighteners - chemical substances creating the illusion of whiteness

Furthermore, conventional bleached baking paper often contains a silicone layer for non-stick properties (difficult to decompose), PFAS substances (forever chemicals), and other chemical treatments.

If You Care baking paper is unbleached, thus retaining the natural colour of the pulp without any chemical processing.

Decomposability of bleached vs. unbleached paper

Conventional bleached baking papers:

• Contain residues of chlorine, dioxins, and optical brighteners
• The silicone layer slows down decomposition or completely prevents it
• Decomposition can take years to decades
• They can contaminate the soil with toxic substances

Unbleached If You Care papers:

• Free from chemical residues
• Faster biological decomposition (weeks to months)
• Safe composting
• Do not pollute soil or water

🌱 FSC certificate - sustainable forestry

The baking paper bears the FSC certificate (Forest Stewardship Council), which guarantees paper from responsibly managed forests with biodiversity protection and regeneration of stands.
