The Right Way to Dispose of Baking Paper

Baking paper should not be placed in the paper recycling bin due to its coating, which makes it non-recyclable. Instead, it belongs in residual waste.

Incineration of baking paper can release harmful substances, contributing to environmental pollution. To mitigate this issue, consider eco-friendly alternatives such as greasing baking sheets with coconut or rapeseed oil, using breadcrumbs or flour, or opting for parchment paper.

Durable, non-stick baking sheets can also serve as sustainable options. Awareness of proper disposal methods is essential, as many mistakenly believe baking paper is recyclable.

By choosing environmentally responsible practices, we can reduce waste and protect our planet.
