"Next generation barcodes can help industry meet regulatory needs, like those around sustainability”
GS1 is collaborating with regulators to ensure internationally standardised next generation barcodes and all our global standards can help businesses meet stricter sustainability and transparency requirements, such as the EU Digital Product Passport.
- Governments are increasingly mandating greater transparency in product labelling, particularly around sustainability and safety.
- QR Codes powered by GS1 and GS1 DataMatrix helps to enable businesses to meet these regulations without cluttering packaging with extra information.
- GS1 open standards are interoperable and are connected to other standards bodies like ISO and IEC
- This can help ensure a seamless transition that balances consumers interests, sustainability and business efficiency.
