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.

      It has a plastic film on it, and it is not what you want to try to compost unless you want contaminate your soil with microplastics. But most people just don’t know this or care

        The stickers on fruit snd veggies are usually edible, in my experience. But I ain’t ever seen one rip like a normal sticker when peeling them off as shown in OP’s pic so… This looks more like a sticker the store put on it, snd not like the grower’s sticker that’s usually on the fruit.

          As I do worm composting at home, having those stickers all around is a hell and they are certainly not to be eaten, they may be indigestible at best.

        Usually they’re required to be food safe, so eating them should at the very least be harmless.
