Why Use If You Care Certified Compostable Unbleached TCF Basket Coffee Filters?

• 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 Coffee Filters are certified for municipal or commercial composting as well as for backyard or home composting.
• If You Care Coffee Filters are made from unbleached totally chlorine-free (TCF) paper. Since no chlorine or chlorine derivatives are used to produce our filters, no chlorine or chlorine derivatives get dumped into lakes, rivers or streams.
