If 300 million 10" eLabels are installed on the market and each eLabel updates the display four times a day, about 300 million pieces of paper can be saved in the same period and about 160 million trees are spared from felling. Equivalently, this made a contribution to the absorption of 8.60 million tons of CO2 on the planet, or a reduction of CO2 emissions by about 57 thousand times in comparison with traditional paper labels. Using ePaper ESLs can reduce additional 1.80 million tons of CO2, equivalent to a reduction of CO2 emissions by about 12 thousand times in comparison with TFT-LCD labels.
According to statistics, the penetration rate of ePaper ESLs (Electronic Shelf Labels) in the global shelf label market is less than 5%, and the future market growth is still large. It is expected that the growth rate of 20-30% will be maintained in the next few years, and replacing traditional paper labels with more ePaper shelf labels will reduce the use of paper and help the sustainable development of the environment.
