PFAS are synthetic chemicals used in non-stick cookware, food packaging, textiles, pesticides, and more. Their resistance to heat and water makes the convenient, but they don't break down, contaminating soil, water, and food. PFAS exposure has been linked to cancer, hormonal disruption, and fertility issues. At MyFibres, we believe sustainability and health go hand in hand. Our kitchen papers are: PFAS-free, Toluene-free, Made from 100% virgin pulp, Compostable & biodegradabl

Plastic is everywhere, from packaging on your groceries to the utensils in your kitchen. While it may seem convenient, the environmental and health costs are staggering. Every piece of plastic we use today could linger for centuries, harming ecosystems and even entering our food chain. The good news? There are simple, sustainable alternatives that can make a big difference. Plastic pollution is not just an environmental issue: it's a health risk, a social challenge, and a sus

Australia has just taken a step in addressing one of the most persistent environmental and health challenges of our time: PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), often called "forever chemicals". After more than a year of hearings, site visits, and expert testimony, the Senate Select Committee on PFAS has released its final report, a nearly 400-page document that exposes regulatory gaps and sets out 47 recommendations for urgent action. "For too long, PFAS chemicals have

In a world striving for greener solutions, the word "compostable" is everywhere. But what does it actually mean? And how is it different from "biodegradable"? A compostable material breaks down into natural elements withon a composting environment, leaving no toxic residue. This process is driven by microorganisms like bacteria and fungi under controlled temperature and humidity. Certified compostable products meet strict standards such as ASTM D6400 or EN 13432. Compostable

PM2.5 refers to particulate matter smaller than 2.5 micrometers (about 30 times thinner than a humain hair). These particles are so tiny that they can penetrate deep into your lungs and even enter your bloostream. We tested PM2.5 emissions during air frying using 2 setups: Without MyFibres papers: PM2.5 rose from 3 to 23 µg/m³ With MyFibres papers: PM2.5 rose only from 2 to 4 µg/m³ Cooking emissions are a major source of indoor air pollution. MyFibres offers smart, sustainabl

In last September, the Australian Climate Service released its National Climate Risk Assessment, a landmark report that outlines the growing threats posed by climate change across the country. And the findings are sobering.

Halloween is all fun and games. Until you look behind the mask. Every October 31st, millions celebrate Halloween. This tradition gained popularity in the US and in Canada since the 1920s, and hasn't stopped growing since. Originally rooted in ancient Celtic harvest festivals and later influenced by Christian observances, Halloween has evolved into a highly commercialized event focused on entertainment and consumerism. And beneath the spooky fun, it hides a darker side that's

Toluene is a volatile organic solvent widely used in industrial applications such as paint, adhesives, and chemical coatings. In the context of baking paper, it may be used to dissolve and apply synthetic resins or anti-stick agents that give the paper its heat resistance and non-stick properties. While technically effective, this practice raises serious concerns when it comes to food safety.

PFAS (short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are synthetic chemicals commonly used to make packaging resistant to grease, water, and heat. They’re found in everyday items like fast-food wrappers, baking paper, and takeout containers. While they may seem harmless, PFAS pose serious risks to both human health and the environment.
