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. 🙂

    I get where you’re coming from but I’ll just say most fruits and vegetables already don’t have any stickers on them here (Canada) and people have been surviving fine. The only time I see a sticker is when it’s bundled in a pack.

    If someone struggle that much he usually goes to a cashier instead of the self-checkout.
