Several groups are cheering Loblaw’s commitment to phase out receipt paper containing BPA, BPS and other bisphenol alternatives by the end of 2021. These chemicals have been found to be endocrine disruptors and some studies have linked them to other possible health effects, but not conclusively. The Government of Canada has banned the use of BPA in baby bottles. Public concern has put pressure on some companies to phase out their use. In January 2020, Costco Canada became the first grocery retailer based in Canada to phase out bisphenol-coated receipt paper.
Loblaw committed to do the same in its 2020 Corporate Social Responsibility Report. The company is Canada’s largest grocery retail and drugstore company and the phase out would apply to all of its subsidiaries. The commitment has garnered congratulations from labour, women’s health and environmental groups.
