Low Exposure Risk — Why This Product Category Matters

Office and school supplies contain phthalates (in vinyl binders, folders, and backpacks), BPA (in thermal receipt paper), and VOCs (in markers, glues, and correction fluid). Children spend 6-8 hours per day in school environments with these products.

Why We Recommend This Product

Nakagawa's BPA-free thermal paper uses Vitamin C as the thermal developer instead of BPA or BPS. A meaningful improvement for cashiers and businesses that handle large volumes of receipts.
