Environmental Details
We know how difficult it can be to tell how much of an impact what you are buying has on the environment, and what effect switching to a more sustainable product has, so we have found out and compiled all of this information for you below.
The Toastabags Reusable Silicone Baking Mat replaces single use baking liners such as greaseproof paper, and also removes the need to grease trays with oils and fats when baking.
The Toastabags Baking Mat is made from 100% food grade silicone.
When baking, we were always taught to line our trays with greaseproof paper. Unfortunately though, greaseproof paper isn't recyclable, so ends up going in the bin, which is a waste of resources. A Reusable Baking Mat on the other hand can be used over and over again, eliminating the waste from your baking. It also doubles up as a non-slip mat, perfect for rolling out your cookie dough. Let's see your greaseproof paper do that!
The Silicone Baking Mat is rolled up and packaged with a recyclable paper sleeve. Please note, the sleeve is currently sealed with plastic tape, but we are working with the manufacturer to replace this in the future.
The Reusable Baking Mat is designed to last, and with the right care, should see you through many years of baking. If you do need to dispose of it, silicone is fully recyclable. Check with your local authority if they have any recycling facilities for silicone, or check out a recycling scheme such as TerraCycle.
