Faced with growing environmental concerns, the thermal paper industry is actively seeking transformation, moving towards a “green turn” towards sustainable development.
Promotion of BPA-Free Technology: The most crucial change lies in the innovation of coating formulations. An increasing number of products on the market are adopting BPA-free technology, using more environmentally friendly and safer colorants (such as vitamin C-based colorants), eliminating concerns about harmful chemicals at the source.
Sustainable Forest Management: The source of the paper base is crucial for high-quality, environmentally friendly thermal paper. Many manufacturers commit to using wood pulp from sustainably managed forests and have obtained authoritative certifications such as the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council), ensuring that the entire paper production process is environmentally friendly.
Exploration of Recycling and Degradation Technologies: While comprehensive recycling remains challenging, recycling technologies for BPA-free thermal paper are under research. Simultaneously, biodegradable thermal paper is emerging, capable of natural decomposition under certain conditions, significantly reducing the pressure on end-of-life treatment.
