Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Bleaching residue or chemical processing byproducts and Compostability and environmental persistence on the Schwartz Bros and not on the Seventh Generation.
  • We flag Silicone coating degradation and microparticles and Heat-induced breakdown of paper fibers on the Seventh Generation and not on the Schwartz Bros.
  • The Schwartz Bros is silicone-coated parchment paper where the Seventh Generation is bleached paper with silicone coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Seventh Generation is the one to buy.

Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
