This report, published in 2004 by the Danish EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), details the different uses of BPA and the possible alternatives to its use in drinks cans and food tins, polycarbonate items, thermal paper and printer ink.

BPA is primarily used in polycarbonate, in epoxy resins coating the inside of food tins, and as a developer in thermal paper (till receipts). 73 alternative solutions were identified.
