IF YOU CARE

Our very first products hold a special place in our hearts. If You Care Cone Filters are made from FSC® certified unbleached totally chlorine-free (TCF) paper. Since no chlorine or chlorine derivatives were used to produce these filters, no chlorine or chlorine derivatives get dumped into our lakes, rivers and streams. Our coffee filters feature a strong “never break” double seam, which assures the strength and integrity of the filters. These coffee filters are designed to give lovers of freshly ground coffee maximum pleasure while having the least possible environmental impact. NOW CERTIFIED COMPOSTABLE for municipal or commercial composting as well as for backyard or home composting.

If You Care 100% Biomass Firelighters contain two ingredients only: FSC wood and non-GMO vegetable oil. Simple as that. Use these environmentally friendly fire starting cubes for fireplaces, BBQ grills, wood burning stoves/ovens and campfires/outdoor fire pits. No Petroleum Products Some firelighters contain kerosene and /or paraffin or paraffin wax, all derived from petroleum, and therefore based on fossil fuels. With the combustion of some firelighters, formaldehyde- a substance which has been classified as a human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and as a probable human carcinogen by the U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) – may be released. If You Care 100% Biomass Firelighters are 100% from renewable resources and are non-toxic. Carbon Neutral Emissions Because If You Care Firelighters are made 100% from biomass- wood and vegetable oil- the emission resulting from their combustion are considered carbon neutral. This is due to the fact that the CO2 emitted from the combustion of biomass is offset by reduction of CO2 in the atmosphere as a result of new biomass growth. This is in accordance with guidelines by the EPA as well as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The same cannot be said for firelighters using petroleum products, such as kerosene, paraffin wax or slack wax.

If You Care Compostable Trash Bags are made from potato starch from non-GMO starch potatoes blended with a certified, fully compostable polymer. No plasticizers are added. Why Use If You Care Compostable Trash Bags? Approximately 80 million tons of waste (U.S. EPA figures) which goes to landfill annually is material which under the right conditions, can be turned into compost, including food scraps, yard trimmings and non-recyclable paper. In a landfill environment, this trapped organic material (leaves, grass etc.) releases methane gas – a greenhouse gas – contributing to global warming. Diverting food scraps and yard trimmings from landfill to compost facilities – either municipal or commercial in areas where available – contributes significantly to preserving our planet and natural resources. If You Care Compostable Trash Bags are completely polyethylene free and do not contain plasticizers.

Just like your mom’s old favorite – only better! Made from unbleached paper and coated with 100% natural soybean wax, it’s ideal for wrapping foods without affecting flavor.

Like all If You Care paper products, our Waxed Paper is totally chlorine-free, so no chlorine or chlorine derivatives are dumped into our lakes, rivers and streams.

These premium quality FSC® certified unbleached, greaseproof papers are perfect for a wide variety of baking and cooking needs.

It’s a much more expensive process, but one we feel is worth it for everyone. But perhaps most importantly, our baking papers use no chlorine in their production. And that means no chlorine is dumped into our lakes and streams.
