Lura replaces receipt printers with a mobile device that displays a QR Code when printed to, so retailers can issue digital receipts without collecting any personal information.

Do you know that paper receipts account for over 20 million threes and 100 billion litres of water used every year? All to make a product that will end up in the trash within the first minute. It's so wasteful that some governments are considering banning them, but giving electronic receipts at checkout is not a simple process either. Not all customers are willing to give personal information to get a receipt and even if they are willing to it's still a pretty clunky process. With Lura we've sought a make it easy for retailers to transition away from paper receipts replacing their receipt printers with mobile software that can convert it to a QR Code for their customers to scan and move on. They don't have to change their current habits, they just have to print the same way they've always done.

If I understood correctly, then something similar has been functioning in China for a long time. And it's damn convenient. 👍👌
