California Rejects Ban on Long Paper Receipts

SEATTLE (Waste 360): California lawmakers have rejected a ban restricting retailers from handing out unusually long paper receipts.

Initially, the bill would have required businesses by 2022 to provide customers with electronic receipts unless a paper receipt was requested. The bill also sought to ban certain chemicals from being used on paper receipts. However, the bill had been significantly scaled back recently due to criticism from the paper industry and business groups.
