Viega Reduces Waste by Replacing Printed Instructions With QR codes
Viega LLC will reduce paper waste by 32 tons a year
BROOMFIELD, Colo. — Viega LLC will reduce paper waste by 32 tons a year by eliminating printed instructions in favor of QR codes.
Beginning in October, the printed instructions inside the packages of most ProPress, MegaPress, and PureFlow products made in the United States will be removed in favor of a QR code printed on the product label. A scan of the code will send the user to the product instruction page online. It’s estimated that this will eliminate more than 6 million pieces of paper a year.
