Tesco, the UK's largest supermarket chain, has announced a new trial to replace traditional stickers on avocados with laser-etched barcodes. The initiative, which began on May 31, 2024, aims to reduce waste and improve environmental sustainability. Tesco is collaborating with an East Midlands company to implement this eco-friendly solution. The laser etchings will contain product information directly on the avocado skin, eliminating the need for stickers. The trial will use high-powered lasers for the etchings.
