Are these filters made of recycled paper?

The package does not say whether these filters are made of recycled paper, but the Chemex web site says that "Cleansed through a four stage process using extremely hot water, the paper is 100% cellular fiber made of primarily softwood such as pine" so I presume that it's not recycled.

I have never been under that impression - contact the manufacturer for this information.

I no longer have this box, but I don't believe so. Generally, "made of recycled paper" is prominent on the packaging.

The frames are constructed of cardboard. These filters may be shop-vac-able, at best. I found the cardboard frames disappointingly flimsy.

They are ment to be put in a reusable filter, so if the filter fits the paper liners will too.

No, these are made in China. I do not know where to find any paper filters like this anywhere else.

From http://www.ifyoucare.com/less-waste:"The packaging of every product is made from unbleached and whenever possible, recycled cardboard or paper which should be recycled again. The coffee filters, parchment paper, baking cups, waxed paper and sandwich bags are 100% biodegradable and should be composted. The aluminum foil is made from recycled aluminum and can be recycled again."So, to answer your question, yes. And thank you for caring =)

No, it's plastic. If you buy this, always store the filter in the supplied cloth bag and place the plastic cover sheet on it as well. I have done this and the filter has been in good condition since purchase.

It is not a reusable filter. I read the details and it says it "out performers the washable, plastic & fiberglass filters". It is a cardboard frame and not sure of what the filter is actually made of but it is a very good filter.

Paper coated with plastic. After extensive use they break downcaused by shuffling. We do not clean them.

My filters have NO printing. But one side is more shiny and that's the side that goes toward the machine. Seems to be working very well, I even see more dirt trapped than with the originals!Bob

I use a paper filter! To me you need one, I don't get that permanent filter term they use. You need a filter!

Yes, they are paper with one side plastic coated. I see no reference to BPA.

Yes they are. The great thing about them is that they fit perfectly, unlike the cone filters.

These are filters. You roll it up and then put it at one end of a rolling paper. They work great once you get the hang of it.

I think so. They are in sealed cuisinart packaging and they look like the original filters I usually buy. I was sceptical too but so far, they appear to be.

I'm not sure. There is a thin, dark sheet inside the filters--but I'm not sure what it is made of. Hope this helps. The interior sheet is about an inch smaller than the filter and appears to have a rough texture.

No they are paper pulp...like those non-styrofoam egg cartons are made out of. They are very sturdy and great looking.

Yes it's paper...very thin filter paper, and based upon its color I'd say unbleached.
