This approach, intended to cut down plastic waste, involves the use of high-powered lasers to inscribe details such as the fruit\u2019s size or variety on its skin. The trial is currently underway in approximately 270 stores in south-east England, with plans for a nationwide rollout if customer feedback is favourable.<\/p>\n<p>The initiative could potentially eliminate the use of nearly one million plastic stickers annually for Tesco\u2019s loose, extra-large avocados, according to Reuters. Westfalia Fruit, Tesco\u2019s primary avocado supplier from Lincolnshire, is collaborating on this initiative. In addition to the laser labelling, Tesco is also experimenting with replacing plastic tray packaging for two popular avocado lines with cardboard containers, which are more easily recycled.<\/p>\n<p>If implemented, this change would save more than 20 million pieces of plastic tray packaging annually from just the twin-pack avocados. Tesco, which sells nearly 70 million avocados each year, is working towards net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, including emissions from its operations, products, and supply chains.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.packaging-gateway.com\/news\/tesco-avocado-plastic-label\/\">Packaging Gateway<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-533\/\">Tesco pilots laser etching on avocados to cut plastic labels<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[14773,575,14774,2592],"class_list":["post-131069","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-avocado","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-laser-etching","tag-tesco"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131069","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=131069"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131069\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131069"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131069"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131069"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
