Tesco, a leading UK supermarket, is trialing the use of laser etchings to replace stickers on avocados. This initiative, which involves collaboration with an East Midlands company, aims to reduce waste and is part of Tesco's broader efforts to adopt more environmentally friendly practices. The laser technology will imprint barcodes directly onto the fruit, eliminating the need for traditional stickers. The trial was announced on May 31, 2024.
