Measure receipt-paper use without overstating impact
TerraGridTech helps businesses offer digital receipts as an alternative to unnecessary receipt-paper printing. The outcome depends on whether businesses actually reduce parallel paper printing and how the digital service is operated.
Our current approach
We focus first on quantities a retailer can observe: digital receipts created, confirmed paper prints avoided, receipt length, equivalent rolls and adoption rate.
We do not publish universal trees, water or carbon conversions. Digital services also use devices, networks and hosted infrastructure.

Future measurement plans
Future research may use anonymised, aggregated information only after data quality, permissions, sample thresholds, privacy review and a reproducible methodology are in place. No findings are available today.
