Tesco's Laser-Etched Avocados to Save on Packaging Waste - Core77
www.core77.com
"Laser avocado" sounds like a Doritos flavor, but it's actually a packaging technique being trialed by Tesco. In a bid to reduce packaging waste, the UK supermarket chain is laser-etching avocados rather than using barcode stickers. And for their avocado products that come in twin packs, they're ditching the plastic

I’m sharing this because any reduction in unnecessary packaging waste is good for the planet - and because I think laser-etching avocados is funny. 🙂

      If it can replace the not-always-compostable stickers, I think it’s likely a good tradeoff.

        They dont even nneed a sticker. At the self checkout at my store you just hit the “item lookup” and press “avocados” and thoe how many you have

        Replace? I’ve not seen stickers on any veggies or fruits in many many years.
