Okay this may not be relatable for a lot of people who do not separate their trash into 4 different bins. But we have a dedicated bin for organic waste, we use it for energy production etc. The supermarkets put these little stickers on their fruit and veggies, they are similarly infuriating as stickers on non organic stuff.

    I can’t recall running into paper labels on fruit before. Idk where OP lives or maybe I’ve just somehow dodged brands that do this up until now, wtf.

      as said common in usa but I swear I saw a tech to like burn print things with peels to make these unnecessary. Feels like if it worked well enough we should be seeing it by now.

        Wow, I expected this from the US, Canada, or the UK.

        I thought having clear rules for an efficient society was Germany’s whole thing.

          The rule is “a banana from one brand must never be scanned as a banana from the other brand” lol. People rip bananas apart all the time and then always say it was the cheapest one at the cashier. So there is a need to put a sticker in every single unit.
