At Smart Label Solutions (SLS), I was tasked with evaluating the environmental benefits of electronic shelf labels (ESLs) in Canada's retail sector. I discovered that one ESL could replace 5840 paper labels over eight years, saving 8.52 Kg of CO2eq and potentially reducing the sector's CO2eq emissions by 0.235 Mt/year.1. Executed a sensitivity analysis, corroborated by the Migros Etrembières case, confirming ESLs' efficacy in emission reduction.2. Addressed ESL battery disposal… Show more At Smart Label Solutions (SLS), I was tasked with evaluating the environmental benefits of electronic shelf labels (ESLs) in Canada's retail sector.
