Quick Response (QR) codes have come a long way since their inception in 1994. Originally created for tracking automotive components, these two-dimensional matrix barcodes have evolved into ubiquitous tools for information storage and retrieval. With the ability to store a vast array of data types—including numeric, alphanumeric, binary, and special characters—QR codes have found applications beyond industrial use, penetrating sectors such as retail, healthcare, and advertising.

Sustainable packaging materials, such as metal, are becoming important to broader supply chain sustainability. At the same time, every link in a supply chain should be focused on sustainable solutions that make logistics more economically efficient and eco-friendly. Paying attention to improving Service Parts Logistics (SPL), which involves ordering replacement parts, is a crucial key for supply chains to evolve toward sustainability.

Three key barriers exist that limit the development of sustainable packaging. Those barriers are cost/benefit ambiguity, additional costs, and trade-offs between package requirements. These barriers partly relate to company size. Here's a look at how a focus on environmental issues will help lead businesses toward sustainable packaging solutions.
