Understanding Prop 65: Why BPS-Free Thermal Paper is Essential

California’s updated Prop 65 regulations now classify Bisphenol S (BPS) as a hazardous chemical, requiring businesses to adjust their practices. By December 2024, thermal receipt paper sent to California must either exclude BPA and BPS entirely, or include a Prop 65 warning label.

Thermal Paper Direct offers a simple and compliant solution: Phenol-Free Thermal Paper Rolls that meet these evolving standards and protect your customers and the environment.

What Is BPS, and Why Should Businesses Care?

Bisphenol S (BPS) is a chemical frequently used in thermal paper to replace BPA, serving as a key component in the heat-reactive coating. While initially seen as a safer alternative, recent studies reveal that BPS may pose similar risks to BPA.

Thermal Paper Direct provides BPA-free and BPS-free thermal paper to ensure you meet regulatory requirements while supporting better health and environmental outcomes.
