I was told recently that cash register tapes can't be recycled... because of the type of ink. True?-
It's because the paper is coated with BPA, a chemical contaminant.

While we're talking about printing inks, I do promote plant based printed media: catalogs, magazines, junk mail etc. Some of these inks come from trees so the resource is renewable. Having said that, I prefer printed version versus digital media and I do have a tinge of guilt having to recycle these magazines, etc. Pass on any magazines, catalogs you get so others can enjoy the stories, articles, pictures.
