Colloquially, many know GTIN as a barcode, but technically, GTIN is the number found beneath the barcode symbol itself, and can therefore also be used for other technologies such as 2D barcodes and RFID tags.
GS1 Forum is an initiative created by GS1 Denmark, where we, together with our members and other stakeholders, shed light on a topical issue through speeches and debate.
The aim of the GS1 Forum is to contribute to positive societal development based on standards that can lead us towards sustainable growth and better lives.

GS1 Forum 2022 - New dimensions on food waste through smart barcodes

At GS1 Forum 2023, we focused on extended producer responsibility for packaging. The ambition of the day was to inspire how, through a renewed look at one's own packaging, one can become part of the green transition and stand better in the battle for customers.
And on top of that, you might even look forward to a lower charge for waste management when producer responsibility comes into effect.

At GS1 Forum 2022, we joined forces with the retail sector and leading food industry players to spotlight the potential of smart barcodes (2D barcodes) in the fight against food waste.
Watch or rewatch presentations and debates featuring some of Denmark’s most influential stakeholders, exploring how to accelerate the transition from 1D to 2D barcodes and how, as a society, we can unlock the full benefits in terms of reducing food waste, enhancing food safety, improving inventory management, streamlining recall processes, and much more.
