Discount Retail Chain Lidl Portugal (owned by the German Schwarz Group) has announced plans to introduce digital price tags in all its stores in Portugal, replacing the existing paper labels. The German chain said the move is part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability and will result in savings of 400kg of paper per year per store (or 108 tonnes annually for its national network).
This follows a successful pilot in one store in October 2022 and is now being rolled out gradually, with the completion date set to be the end of the first half of 2024.
The digital price tags allow Lidl to make price and information changes in near real time. The price tags are directly connected to the merchandise management system and receive all information automatically.
