Primabake®: The Most Certified Baking Paper: A Recyclable + Compostable Standard

When it comes to premium baking paper, Primabake® has set a new industry standard — not only for performance but for sustainability, certification, and trust. Recognized as the most certified baking paper worldwide, Primabake® proudly holds CMA-IAW, BPI, and TÜV certifications for compostability, in addition to multiple quality and safety accreditations that reinforce its excellence across every step of production.

No other baking paper can claim to meet the highest compostability grades in all three of these international certification systems. This unique combination confirms that Primabake® stands alone as the benchmark for certified compostable baking papers — and goes even further by also offering recyclability(according to CEPI protocol and 4evergrenen), a rare added advantage that sets it apart from traditional solutions.

Certified to the Highest Global Standards

Each of the certifications Primabake® holds represents a distinct and rigorous assessment:

• CMA (Compost Manufacturing Alliance) certification ensures that Primabake® meets the stringent requirements of industrial composting in North America.
• BPI (Biodegradable Products Institute) approval guarantees compliance with ASTM D6400 and D6868 standards, confirming that the product composts safely and effectively without leaving harmful residues.
• TÜV Austria OK Compost certification validates compostability under European EN 13432 standards, both for industrial and, for selected grades, home composting environments.

Individually, each certification demonstrates a strong commitment to environmental performance. Combined, they form a unique trio of global recognition unmatched in the baking paper industry.

Beyond Compostability: The Power of Recyclability

While many baking papers today can claim to be compostable, although not to the grade of Primabake®, very few can also claim recyclability. This is where Primabake® sets itself apart.

Unlike Genuine Vegetable Parchment (GVP) paper, which is compostable but not recyclable, Primabake® offers a dual end-of-life advantage: it can be composted or recycled, depending on local waste management systems.

This additional property is a major difference in sustainable paper solutions. It not only minimizes environmental impact but also aligns with circular economy principles, allowing used baking paper to re-enter the material lifecycle. For professionals, industrial users, and eco-conscious consumers alike, this is a decisive advantage.

Premium Quality Through Certified Transparency

Being the most certified baking paper is not only a matter of prestige — it’s a guarantee of integrity, traceability, and consistency. To meet and maintain the CMA, BPI, and TÜV certifications, as well as others, Primabake® must comply with strict global standards that regulate every stage of production, from raw material sourcing to finished product testing.

In a market increasingly challenged by low-quality imported goods that often fail to meet European food safety and sustainability norms — and in some cases display fake certifications — these verified standards are crucial to ensuring true compliance and consumer protection.

This means:

• Premium, food-safe raw materials sourced with verified origins.
• Full traceability throughout the supply chain.
• Transparent, responsible manufacturing practices.
• Continuous innovation to reduce waste, energy use, and environmental footprint.

Every roll of Primabake® baking paper embodies technical excellence and environmental accountability, making it the go-to solution for professional and industrial baking needs worldwide.
