Attention Shoppers! Get Your Vitamin C at the Cash Register

It wonÕt cure the common cold, but Appvion, Inc.Õs new eco-friendly receipt paper, Alpha Free, proves vitamin C works wonders at the cash register.

Alpha Free is the first and only thermal receipt paper to use a vitamin C formulation in place of phenols like BPA or BPS. Whole Foods Market is now the first major national grocery retailer in America to use the new, natural and sustainable choice in receipt paper that shoppers can feel good about at checkout.

ÓIn the last few years, multiple studies concluded that BPA found in receipts can be absorbed into the skin. If you are someone who handles receipts daily, like a cashier, that can be scary,Ò said Dave Pauly, Alpha Free Product Manager for Appvion. ÓA growing number of shoppers and employees are looking for more natural product options. That movement encouraged us to develop our vitamin C-based receipt paper, Alpha Free.Ò
