The technology we provide to retailers is making a real difference to their carbon footprint.
Green shelf labels
DIGI’s electronic labelling solution reduces printing, travel, food waste, the requirement for bright lighting and landfill waste. The system illustrates how the more sustainable choice isn’t necessarily more costly and rather than meaning any compromise, can actually offer more benefits.
At DIGI Group Ireland, sustainability is something we have a proud history of focusing on and we continue to be focused on improving. We’re bringing innovative solutions to our customers to help them choose more sustainable options. We’re proving that green solutions can be more cost-efficient and effective.
Retailers across Ireland are seeing that the benefits of our Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs) go beyond a lower carbon footprint; from operational efficiency to customer experience and employee satisfaction. These labels replace paper price tags and connect directly to a retailer’s pricing software. The result? Real-time, accurate pricing updates that enhance operational efficiency and flexibility. ESLs eliminate the need for weekly paper and ink tag printing. Many of our customers report saving 30 to 40 labour hours per week. Businesses with multiple stores are seeing reduced travel time and expense as the ESLs can be managed remotely.
Green self-adhesive labels are Linerless
Beyond ESLs, our commitment to sustainability extends to Linerless Labels. We have an exclusive partnership with a manufacturer who has mastered the art of these self-adhesive labels without the backing film. In fact, DIGI brought the Linerless Label to the Irish market for the first time.
Switching to this Linerless option instantly drops the carbon footprint of the labelling by 40-50%, without any compromise. There is no sticky residue, no reduction in quality or even design – with our clever branding options and skilled artwork team.
There are several ways Linerless Labels are actually quicker and easier to use, and save you money.Being one continuous roll that automatically cuts to size, there is less wastage, less need for purchasing and switching different roll sizes, less bins of backing film to send to landfill. In just the first year since switching to DIGI Linerless Labels, Scally’s SuperValu Clonakilty reduced their landfill waste by approx. 2.5 tonnes (80,000 linear metres of label backing film), while also saving €30,000 on their label spend and waste disposal costs.
Irish retailers are leading the way and making greener choices
Irish retailers are ahead of the curve, and DIGI Group is at the forefront. We’ve already installed 3.2 million ESLs in Irish stores, and that number continues to grow each day. Our solutions empower retailers to thrive in a competitive market while championing sustainability.
Musgrave Group has approved our ESLs under their Sustainability grant for SuperValu and Centra stores. We’re proud to be part of their journey toward a greener future.
