Most of us are aware of the environmental rulings against certain chemicals in the State of California. For those that are not familiar with this, Google Proposition 65.
You may already be up to speed if you have seen “Proposition 65” warning labels on various consumer products.
Regarding Thermal paper, the State of California added BPA to its list of banned substances, and the paper industry responded with BPA-free thermal Paper. California has now added BPS to this list of Banned Substances, and the paper industry is again responding with the creation of BPS-free paper.
Taking this one step further, the State of Washington is eliminating all Phenols, not just BPA and BPS. Therefore, all the global mills are working towards the conversion to Phenol Free Papers.
The reason I bring this to your attention is that there is an article circulating that specifically calls out many businesses in California, and I have received numerous communications about the article.
The direct link is: https://ceh.org/latest/press-releases/touching-1-receipt-for-10-seconds-results-in-exposure-to-the-chemical-bps-above-the-safe-limit/
Bottom line is that the paper industry, along with all other industries, are working to meet the changing landscapes on the West Coast and will continue to provide safe options.
