That is a wonderful new development for the world of recycling! Hopefully all countries make the same change as Europe in requiring BPA-free thermal paper. Many locations across North America still will not accept thermal paper. Please check with your local recycling program to see what they accept.

Manufacturers are now producing BPA- free thermal paper
An EU-wide ban came into effect at the beginning of 2022 making it illegal to include it in paper. Same in UK

If you scratch a thermal receipt with your fingernail, it will make black marks. But, in any case where you are still unsure, please put it in trash instead of recycling. It is better to keep an item you’re not sure of from contaminating the recycling.

Our major household/personal/insurance receipts or statements.. we hold off for our shredder (should we continue to shred at home?) Some we take to a Recycling Event ie our credit union offering a recycle time/day.

Thank you for your advice and input. Greatly appreciate your guidance!!
