Wax & Parchment Paper
Wax paper is coated with paraffin wax on one side to store food. Parchment paper is coated with silicone plastic to prevent food from sticking to it and is heat-resistant.
Wax paper may be coated with paraffin wax (petroleum-based), soybean, vegetable oil, or beeswax. Parchment paper is coated with silicone plastic. As plastics break down to smaller plastics, and large-scale composting facilities are working to achieve organic status for the finished compost product that is applied to local gardens, farms, and orchards, keeping petroleum-based products out of the green bin works to ensure a cleaner finished soil amendment and less plastic in our soil and plants.
