CA Kisses Paper Receipts Goodbye

Nicknamed Skip the Slip, this proposed bill in California would require restaurants (and all retail businesses) as of 2022 to provide guests with an electronic receipt instead of a printed one, unless asked for one. Hoping to aid the environment and lessen people’s exposure to chemical compounds commonly used as water-resistant coatings for 93 percent of receipts, electronic receipts would annually deflect 686 million pounds of solid waste from landfills, save 21 billion gallons of water, and spare 10 million trees. Businesses who disregard the law will incur a fine.
