So, dear Migros - we need to talk! For some time now, I've noticed that almost every banana still has a little greenish sticker on it. I was still able to remove the old blue parts, but these are sticking well to the peel... Now my question: is it really necessary, this sticking and labeling madness? Sorry, but it just annoys me. Why not make things easier? The world is complicated enough as it is.
Are you the banana peel or what?
Moreover, how can you guarantee that the WWF goods are not mixed up with organic Fairtrade bananas?
Hello Leguana
Thank you for your message. Normally, however, the stickers should be easy to remove.
In general, it should also be mentioned that attaching customer information with stickers instead of packaging has proven its worth and clearly corresponds to a trend. This saves packaging material. Likewise, organic fruit and vegetables sold in the open must be labeled with a sticker to prevent confusion.
Best regards
Sebastian

I also find the adhesives cumbersome and too many of them end up in the compost. Wouldn't compostable adhesives be the perfect solution to the problem? The following article contains other environmentally friendly and customer-friendly solutions to the problem: https://www.tannerag.ch/de/news-anwendungen/aufkleber-auf-obst-und-gemuese-landen-haeufig-auf-dem-kompost-2540 I would be delighted if Migros could find a solution that works for all of us!

You don't want plastic packaging, but how do you feel bananas should be differentiated?

Hello Sonja2, thank you very much for your contribution. As we have several items in our banana range, the products have to be clearly declared and differentiated. That's why we use small stickers. We are currently in the process of switching to biodegradable & compostable stickers. Some banana suppliers have already made the switch - unfortunately some have not yet. All suppliers are expected to have switched to compostable material by quarter 3 2022. This applies to our organic Fairtrade and WWF bananas. For Demeter bananas, we will not be able to switch completely until 2023. Kind regards, Matteo
