About Firelighters Vegan
If You Care 100% Biomass Firelighters are made from FSC-certified wood and 100% non-GMO vegetable oil. Use these environmentally friendly fire starting cubes to replace those made with kerosene and other petroleum products. For fireplaces, grills, wood burning stoves and campfires, use 3 - 4 per fire. They burn for 8 - 10 minutes. If You Care Biomass Firelighters are extremely stable, have a long shelf-life, do not lose firepower or dry out when left open, are not oily or greasy; have no unpleasant smells, are non explosive and non toxic, and can be stored with food.
Carbon Neutral Emissions
Because If You Care Firelighters are made 100% from biomass- wood and vegetable oil- the emission resulting from their combustion are considered carbon neutral. This is due to the fact that the CO2 emitted from the combustion of biomass is offset by reduction of CO2 in the atmosphere as a result of new biomass growth. This is in accordance with guidelines by the EPA as well as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The same cannot be said for firelighters using petroleum products, such as kerosene, paraffin wax or slack wax.
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 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.
