Why Businesses Are Switching to Phenol-Free Receipt Paper.

Across the United States, laws are shifting quickly to protect public health and the environment. California’s Proposition 65 now bans toxic BPA and BPS in receipt paper, and Washington State has passed similar legislation requiring all businesses to switch to phenol-free thermal paper by January 2026.

These new laws are only the beginning. More states are expected to adopt similar restrictions, making it clear that BPA-free and BPS-free receipts are the future.

For businesses, this is not just about compliance. It is about being proactive, protecting your customers, and leading with sustainable choices.

What is Phenol-Free Receipt Paper?

Traditional thermal receipt paper often contains phenols like BPA and BPS, which are known endocrine disruptors linked to health concerns. Phenol-free receipt paper eliminates these harmful chemicals, making receipts safer to touch and better for recycling.

By switching to EcoChit phenol-free receipt paper, businesses protect staff, customers, and the planet while staying ahead of regulatory change.
