Our assumptions: a paper receipt is about 15 cm long and weighs about 0.7 g. These are estimates, not lab results. We’ll replace them with measured numbers from the pilot.

What we’ll say
- Digital receipts have a substantially lower environmental impact than paper ones (UTS study, 2023).
- No thermal paper means no bisphenol-coated receipts. Testing found about 80% of receipt paper sampled contained BPA or BPS (Ecology Center, 2022 tests).
- Every receipt counted here is one that wasn’t printed, shown as a number.
What we won’t say
- “Completely eco-friendly.” Phones, servers and our plate use energy and materials too.
- Carbon savings in kg. We’ll publish those once we can measure them honestly.
- Sri Lanka receipt statistics. We haven’t found reliable ones yet, so the calculator uses your own numbers.
