CEH has taken legal action against 119 companies for high levels of Bisphenol S (BPS) in receipt paper.
The presence of formaldehyde in built environment products like furniture and flooring is long documented. This chemical has been in use in the furniture and flooring industry for decades, mainly as a wood adhesive. Formaldehyde is a respiratory irritant, a chemical sensitizer, and a carcinogen.
It is important for institutional purchasers to learn how to avoid this chemical when procuring built environment products. To help with this, CEH offers expertise in healthier furniture and flooring procurement and has developed several tools that purchasers can use to avoid formaldehyde in their purchasing.
CEH’s work taking legal action against 90 companies for high levels of BPS in their receipt paper has earned media coverage in major outlets.
