Proceso de fabricación

Primero, veamos la producción y fabricación de papel térmico. Como un tipo especial de papel, papel de la caja registradora requires the use of some special chemical raw materials and processes during its production and processing, such as the use of heat-sensitive chemical coatings. If these raw materials are not handled properly, there will be certain risks of environmental pollution. Currently, mainstream companies that produce thermal paper have adopted a series of environmental protection measures to ensure that their products meet environmental standards. For example, a German company called ‘Mitsubishi Hitec Paper’ launched a thermal paper “Direct Thermal Imagic (R) DigiTal” in 2010. The company guarantees that the product does not contain heavy metals, mercury and other carcinogens, and Production can be carried out at fully controlled levels, thus avoiding the release of harmful substances. In addition, some companies that produce papel de la caja registradora También use materiales respetuosos con el medio ambiente, como pulpa reciclada o fibra de algodón para producir papel de caja registradora para reducir el impacto en el medio ambiente.

Enlace de uso

During the use stage, cash register paper has no obvious environmental pollution problems. However, some studies have shown that some thermal paper contains BPA (bisphenol A) and BPS (biphenyl ether S). These chemicals are endocrine disrupting substances in the human body, and long-term exposure may have an impact on health. Therefore, try to minimize contact when using it, and do not touch the printed words with your fingers.

Enlace de reciclaje

Todavía hay una serie de barreras técnicas, legales y económicas para reciclar el papel de la caja registradora. Debido a su pequeño tamaño y masa, y para reducir el riesgo de fugas, muchas instituciones exigen la destrucción del papel de la caja registradora. Si el papel de la caja registradora no se maneja de manera estandarizada, puede perderse en la escena, causando desechos y contaminación de los recursos de tierra y agua.

Generally speaking, the environmental protection advantage of thermal paper mainly lies in the use of environmentally friendly technologies and materials in its production and manufacturing process, but its use and recycling still need to be further explored and improved. As consumers, we can increase our support and awareness of environmentally friendly products, choose to print less or no barcodes when shopping, reduce contact with thermal paper, recycle as much as possible, and contribute to environmental protection.
