Sustainability

Technology holds the key to retail sustainability. Electronic Shelf Labels provide retailers with one of the most effective ways to create more environmentally friendly operations.

  • Reduce carbon emissions with electronic shelf labels

    Reduce Carbon Emissions

    By eliminating the need for paper labels, ESLs help retail stores to reduce their carbon footprint, as the production, transportation, and disposal of paper labels contribute to carbon emissions.

    Lidl in the UK estimated a saving of over 206 tonnes of carbon annually by implementing ESLs.

  • Reduce paper waste with electronic shelf label / digital price tags

    Reduce Paper Waste

    Traditional paper labels need to be replaced frequently, generating substantial waste over time. Digitalising price tickets all but eliminates the need for paper labels, drastically reducing paper consumption for the retailer.

    This reduction saves trees, which plays a vital role in climate control.

  • Reduce waste in retail with electronic shelf labels

    Improved Inventory Management

    Real-time updates and accurate pricing reduce the likelihood of stock discrepancies and waste due to expired or unsold products. Minimising the environmental impact of overproduction and overstocking, and optimising sustainable retail practices.
