Bisphenols

Bisphenols are a group of harmful chemicals that can affect hormones, fertility and growth in people and wildlife. They are used in plastics, receipts and are found in almost everyone ever tested. One bisphenol, BPA, has already been banned in receipts. But this is only one of many bisphenols that are all likely to be just as harmful, others are still in use on many receipts. We are asking people to protect shopworkers and the environment by saying ‘no’ to receipts when you can and are calling for a ban on all bisphenols in all receipts, in all shops. ​
