position at the forefront of sustainability best practice within the retail display sector, our innovative initiative is aimed at reducing the time is takes for correctly identifying individual components of retail displays for recycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there is tremendous interest amongst retailers and brands for improving sustainability during the design and manufacturing of retail displays, recycling displays at their end of life in-store isn\u2019t as easy as it could be for store teams who want to do the right thing but are, ultimately, time-pressed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accurately verifying the materials and components used to make a retail display unit is an important enabler to effective recycling at the end of the display\u2019s life in-store and giving store teams a quick and easy method of accessing vital information, in a way that\u2019s mobile friendly, can only help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The initiative, developed by our
