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. 🙂

    Agreed, but since they’re not avoiding packaging or etching, etching is better.

    Personally, I’d rather see them etched wit guacamole recipes.

      But what’s the point if etching them in the first place? They etch cabbage or ears of corn. It just seems overkill for no reason
