Why TF would you package an avocado?????
Veggies need no packaging or laser etching for that matter
This is cultural waste
You're preaching to the choir, but it's better than the plastic they've been using
This legit feels like a scene from Idiocracy. "We tried giving the plants Brawndo... it's the thirst mutilator!"
Just don't package them like every other sensible country on Earth.
Eh, cucumbers for example having that plastic survive a lot longer which reduces waste (and makes logistics lighter which saves resources) which comes out as net benefit compared to what it takes to package them like that. I used to think the plastic was dumb but was surprised when I looked into it.
Not sure what's the cost/benefit with avocados, it's probably different with every veggie. And now that I think about it, might depend on local situation. The source I read was Finnish.
