Retail chain Delhaize will replace the paper receipt as much as possible with a digital ticket. The supermarket is one of the first food stores in our country to offer the system.

For those who have ever received a receipt that was longer than their shopping list, the digital receipt will sound like music to the ears. From now on, Delhaize customers can simply receive their till receipt by email. To do this, you must first register via the app.
“In Belgium it is legally required to offer an official proof of purchase to every customer,” said spokesman Roel Dekelver. ‘Until now, this was only done via a paper ticket. But from now on, the Superplus customer can receive the proof digitally and thus via an email address that is linked to the MyDelhaize app.’ In our country, Delhaize is one of the first to take this approach from now on. Anyone who pulls out their Family card at the checkout at furniture giant Ikea is already familiar with the system.
Delhaize hopes to be able to realize significant savings by scrapping the paper ticket, now that the paper price has been pushed to unseen heights in the past year. Every week, about 5 million cash register tickets are printed and distributed at Delhaize, resulting in a paper waste mountain of about 162 tons per year. If every customer decides to only receive a digital ticket from now on, 148 tons of CO . will also be emitted2 less emitted.’
