Comment on Adding stickers to my fruit so it's harder to recycle

  Yup these non removable stickers make the “complete packaging” regular rubbish by definition. Consider a supermarket/brand which uses removable labels.

    I can’t recall running into paper labels on fruit before, idk where OP lives.

    They’re all removable here.

        Plastic coated paper even!

        I see them far less often than I used to.

        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.

      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.

    I usually shop at Aldi, and their brand comes in plastic bags, with no stickers on the fruit. Still not ideal, but at least it’s easily separable.

  I suppose the ecosystem enjoyer could just cut the part of the peel that is affected a rubbish only the affected portion. Still sucks though

    That’s what I’m doing. Of course, it’s easier with an apple when I clean it anyway, rather than a banana where all I have is hands and teeth.
