QR Codes Set to Replace Traditional Barcodes Within Two Years

Credited from: THEGUARDIAN

  • The **barcode**, a staple of retail for 50 years, may soon be replaced by **QR-style codes** within two years, according to the global organization GS1.
  • These new codes will be able to store detailed information including **sell-by dates**, allergens, and recycling instructions, enhancing consumer access to product data.
  • Retailers such as **Tesco** and **Coca-Cola** are already piloting these codes, which have shown success in reducing **food waste** dramatically.
  • While many retailers are upgrading their systems, some experts caution that traditional barcodes may still be needed for non-perishable goods and established processes.
  • As QR codes gain traction, concerns have been raised about their potential impact on **cloud computing resources** and carbon footprints.
