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

      They don’t need laser etching either. Take a basket of fruits, put a label on the basket.

          Except, you have to build the laser… And the assembly line…

              1. You don’t need to put literally anything on the avocado whatsoever, no sticker or anything.
              2. Are you seriously trying to say that building a bunch of fucking lasers and modifying assembly lines would be less wasteful that a tiny label which, by the way, does not need to be made of plastic.

              This is a pointless, wasteful novelty

                  How many different avocados have you seen in a single shop? In big supermarket there can be like 2 or maybe 3, small and big ones and the “premium” one with paper and/or plastic packaging sold for double the price for idiots

          Yes, the label is plastic or paper, but you’ll have 1 label (reusable) for 50 or however many fruits fit into the basket in shop instead of having every single one labeled.

              That’s exactly how it works.

      Most fruits and veg don’t need any packaging at all. At most for a few, a sticker with a segment to show the best ripeness color if they insist on branding that sum bitch.
