You don't need to put literally anything on the avocado whatsoever, no sticker or anything.
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 exactly are they told apart then? There is always multiple Providers, "Organic" "From XY" you need to tell them apart.

And yes im 100% shure that it reduces plastic waste because everything is made from and with plastic. Modification of assembly lines isn't hard either, they are modular most of the time.

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

A shop near me sells around 10 types of avocado's.
