Sustainability
These basket filters are a sustainable alternative to traditional coffee filters because they’re made from unbleached, totally chlorine-free (TCF) paper. This means no chlorine or harmful chemicals are used in the manufacturing process, helping to keep toxins out of our lakes, rivers, and streams. The filters are also fully compostable, reducing landfill waste and supporting a circular, low-impact lifestyle. By choosing these filters, you're making a small but powerful switch that protects the environment without compromising your coffee experience.

About If You Care
The If You Care brand was created in 1990 and started with unbleached coffee filters. If You Care had the first and only unbleached coffee filters in North America at that time. Parchment Baking Paper and Baking Cups soon followed, both unbleached as well. There was no other brand in the North American market offering brown chlorine-free paper products.
If You Care has continued to come out with more products over the years.
If You Care products are produced with a view to reducing the amount of waste in our waste streams. If possible, nothing should remain after the product has been used and properly disposed of. The packaging is made from unbleached recycled cardboard or paper which should be recycled again.

How to use
To use these filters, simply place one into the basket of your clean, basket-style coffee maker, making sure it fits snugly. Add your desired amount of coffee grounds—typically 1 to 2 tablespoons per 6 ounces of water—and brew as you normally would.
Once your coffee is ready and the filter has cooled, remove it along with the used grounds and place both in your compost bin. The filter is fully compostable, making cleanup easy and eco-friendly.
