The collaborative effort between Pricer and PaperShell signifies an increased focus on environmental circular innovation. The ultimate goal is to be a pioneer with components in electronic shelf labels made of 100% bio-based material with no fossil components.

"By joining forces with PaperShell, we are aiming at a more sustainable future, not just for Pricer, but for the entire electronics industry. This collaboration marks the beginning of an exciting journey as we explore the possibilities of integrating new fossil-free materials into our electronic shelf labels. Our partnership has the potential to significantly reduce our environmental footprint. We remain dedicated to pioneering innovative, top-quality solutions that not only prioritize sustainability but also enhance the retail experience and competitive advantage for our customers", says Chris Chalkitis, Chief Digital Officer at Pricer.

PaperShell is a new 100% fossil-free material based on waste streams from the agricultural and forest industry to re-engineer wood into 100% biocomposites. PaperShell's similarity to glass fiber composites makes it the first potential bio composite candidate to replace the glass fiber material in electronics and create a substantial win for the environment with reduction of CO2e emissions of 98%, unprecedented reduction in toxicity and potentially carbon net zero and beyond if circular systems solutions are applied. 

"PaperShell is founded on pushing the boundaries and mixing art, science, and capital towards nature. Creating 100% biobased materials aligned with nature and crossbreeding it with the electronic world speaks for itself. Collaboration with a player such as Pricer that advocates the use of technology to reduce waste and build efficiency is totally aligned with our agenda to team up with companies who are part of a transition towards a circular society", says Anders Breitholtz, CEO at PaperShell.
