There are several paper related issues that your customers consider, every time they receive a receipt. 

Save the environment! 

While the Canada Revenue Agency encourages all Canadians to ask for a receipt when doing business, the environmentally conscious folks are declining to accept receipts, leaving cashiers caught in the middle. The front office staff or cashiers use the default POS software setting to print the necessary and then dispose of any receipts not required for their accounting system. Printing and distributing paper receipts is simply part of the cost of doing business, however, your POS software probably has a setting that you could skip at least one of the receipt copies on demand.

Your Customers do not want to be exposed to BPA.

 Okanac Business Machines, on St. Paul Street in Kelowna BC, supports our community in various ways, one of which includes environmentally conscious habits throughout our office environment and by ordering paper products that do not have harmful chemicals like BPA when possible.

The most common thermal paper used in the Okanagan is POS Thermal Paper Rolls (2 ¼ inch wide roll and 60’). While big box stores often stock this receipt paper, they only stock the type WITH BPA. Okanac always has non BPA (2 ¼ inch wide roll and 60’) available at prices that beat the big box stores.

More about BPA:

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an environmental contaminant and was used in Canada during the manufacturing process for baby bottles and water bottles in addition to many other products. In 2008, Canada proposed declaring BPA toxic and shortly thereafter it was banned. Regulatory agencies estimate that virtually all BPA exposure is from food and beverage packaging. However, free BPA is applied to the outer layer of thermal receipt paper present in very high (∼20 mg BPA/g paper) quantities as a print developer. Not taken into account when considering thermal paper as a source of BPA exposure is that some commonly used hand sanitizers, as well as other skin care products, contain mixtures of dermal penetration enhancing chemicals that can increase by up to 100 fold the dermal absorption of lipophilic compounds such as BPA.

Some Good News for the Environment!

Restaurants are beginning to use less paper rolls as kitchen video becomes a prominent choice with applicable POS software. The majority of restaurants in Kelowna still use 3 X 3 Bond paper rolls to print out  customer orders as they happen.
