Wood and paper slowly chars at 300 F over long periods of time.
Paper ignites at 425 to 450 F. But paper containers containing wet
or at least moist food (which acts as a heat sink) won't degrade in
a 400 F oven during a 30 minute warmup period as the contents just
barely have time to get up to 212 F.

Even a pizza box exposed to 400 F for 20 minutes that chars a wee
bit on the exterior is fine in the interior, as is the leftover
pizza.

And cookie sheets are routinely lined with baking parchment...
