As an alternative to normal receipts, digital receipts will be available in some branches in the future.
This should not only help the environment - but also the customer.
Edeka is modern in terms of sustainability and wants to offer its customers not only receipts made of paper *, but also in digital form in the future.
Various media reported on this - according to this, customers should then be able to have a classic receipt printed out or receive the receipt digitally via a QR code.
Reports: Edeka offers receipts in paper form and digitally
As a customer of Edeka Nord
, anyone who prefers
the
digital receipt
can, as
Stern.de wrote
, citing a report by the
Hamburger Abendblatt
, scan a QR code with their mobile phone after shopping, which is displayed on a monitor at the checkout.
In addition, it is possible to receive the payment receipt digitally via the company's app once it has been downloaded, it says on
Stern.de
.
The advantage: This saves paper and customers no longer have to collect slips of paper.

Receipt requirement since January 1, 2020 in Germany - many retailers responded
Since January 1, 2020, receipts have been mandatory in Germany.
However, many customers do not want to keep their receipts at all, but just put them briefly in their pockets and then dispose of them in the trash - at the expense of the environment.
Some retailers had already responded in the past by handing their customers receipts on bluish instead of white paper.
The receipts on the bluish paper are, as the sustainability
portal Utopia.de
described, easier to dispose of, for example.

Blue instead of white receipts in the supermarket: This is behind the new color.
So now Edeka is apparently taking another step in terms of sustainability - towards digital receipts as a possible alternative.
When and whether the service is to be introduced in all Edeka branches is not clear from the reports.
