Where these two actually differ
- We flag Mold or microbial growth on stored paper on the Duro Bag Manufacturing and not on the If You Care.
- We flag Silicone coating leaching or degradation at high heat, Undisclosed adhesion agents or processing aids in coating and Microplastic shedding from coating wear on the If You Care and not on the Duro Bag Manufacturing.
- The Duro Bag Manufacturing is Unbleached kraft paper where the If You Care is Silicone-coated parchment paper (coating chemistry undisclosed), which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 50 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Duro Bag Manufacturing is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the If You Care grade, at 45% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
