Most of the assembly line is already there to measure, clean, decontaminate and package the stuff, and a laser like that isn't hard to build, in the end, the waste reduction doesn't only reduce plastic output (wich was my main point) but also reduces the amount of Co2 output significantly over time. The amount of maintenance a laser needs is very low, it doesn't burn stuff, its not doing anything harmful lasers are prefect.
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.
thankfully you don't work in the industry
