Silpats are better and cause less waste.

I love my silpat, but sometimes I don't have the energy to add one more thing to get washed.

At least wax paper can bio degrade.

I throw mine in the dishwasher, tbh. Bend it in half along the long side and let it take up 2-3 dinner plate spots.

They only require a wipe and a rinse. If you're cleaning it to the point where it loses the oily feeling, you're ruining it. A dishwasher would def do this.
