J Sainsbury plc is a leading UK food retailer with interests in financial services. It employs 150,000 people, has 823 stores and in 2008 had a turnover of over £19 billion.
Respect for the environment is something Sainsburys takes very seriously. By talking to its suppliers and customers the company believes it can make a real difference in this area. [null] In June 2007, Sainsburys took a giant step to reduce the millions of rolls of receipt paper used in stores each year by becoming the first European retailer to install the NCR 2ST receipt printer, which prints on both sides of the till receipt simultaneously. By the end of 2008, the NCR 2ST receipt printer was installed in about 7,000 checkouts in around half of Sainsburys stores. This will result in 502,000 fewer till rolls being used per year cutting receipt paper usage by around 40%.
Another cost and environmental benefit of this initiative is that the devices use 35 to 50% less energy than the till printers they are replacing. In addition, NCR has calculated that once Sainsburys has installed 9,500 devices, it will save 186 tonnes of paper a year.
The switch will also reduce annual carbon dioxide emissions by 284 kg. This reduction in its carbon footprint comes not just from the reduction in paper usage, but also savings in transport and energy from using less paper and power. For instance, NCR estimates that using fewer till rolls will save 76,691 litres of diesel and reduce wastewater production by 12 million litres.
Customers are also benefiting from the new printing technology in other ways. As the receipts are printed on both sides of the paper simultaneously, print times are much faster which means shoppers get through the checkouts even quicker with shorter, more manageable receipts.
