It is not uncommon for receipts to end up mistakenly in waste paper. What many people don't know is that conventional receipts are printed on thermal paper containing bisphenol A. As a “substance of particular concern,” bisphenol A will even be banned in the EU as a coating on thermal paper from 2020. It is therefore particularly important that receipts containing bisphenol A do not end up in waste paper, as the substance can otherwise enter the environment via recycled paper products. According to a report by the Federal Environment Agency, bisphenol A is hormonally effective and can even impair the reproductive capacity of living organisms. Studies have already shown that the substance damages reproduction and development in fish and amphibians.
