A Green Revolution in Thermal Printing: Biodegradable Paper and Energy-Saving Technologies
2025-07-07
Although thermal printers have reduced cartridge‑related pollution, the thermal paper they use contains chemical coatings such as bisphenol A, making it difficult to recycle. In recent years, the industry has been advancing environmental sustainability through two main approaches.
Although thermal printers have reduced cartridge‑related pollution, the thermal paper they use contains chemical coatings such as bisphenol A, making it difficult to recycle. In recent years, the industry has been advancing environmental sustainability through two main approaches:
Directions for technological improvement:
BPA-free paper : Uses soy-based or resin coatings to reduce environmental harm.
Energy-saving mode : Models with standby power consumption below 1 W are gradually becoming widespread.
Digital substitution : Electronic receipts and thermal printing complement each other (e.g., scanning a QR code to obtain an electronic stub).
In the future, as the cost of biodegradable materials declines and IoT technologies become more widespread, thermal printers may evolve into smart nodes that enable on-demand printing, further reducing resource waste.
