I'm still surprised that the major credit card companies and banks in the US have not started transitioning to digital receipts. Several retailers and smart POS systems link your credit card number to your email and send you receipts automatically. It could be a dual edged sword for the banks, as a more informed consumer might budget more carefully and spend less, but the data collected would be quite valuable. It would not be a hard sell to consumers - "Shop with blank and you never need to worry about paper receipts again!". On a separate note, thermal receipt paper is a terrible source of BPA/BPS plastics. There are alternatives that use vitamin C, but they are rare. https://www.pca.state.mn.us/green-chemistry/bpa-thermal-paper https://www.pca.state.mn.us/green-chemistry/bpa-thermal-pape...
