    I’ve often wondered what the “saving the environment” numbers of these actually look like. Is making and recycling paper shelf labels worse for the environment than a small device that’s a mix of plastics and electronics and has a battery that will eventually need replacing? Especially when I consider my local grocery store probably has thousands of these tags, all rolled out overnight one night, that will probably all need replacement batteries at similar intervals too.
