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. 🙂

    Better yet biodegradable paper and glue so you just throw all the shit in a compost bin!

      The stickers are compostable and edible already

      Editing to say I’m a liar I guess, since I couldn’t find proof to back this claim and have just been eating plastic sometimes.
