Paper waste (even with plastics & toxic pigments) is nothing compared to unrecyclable e-waste (batteries included).
The current implementation of such tags is also perhaps a bit silly - forcing new tech to replace paper a process 1:1 is usually the initial awkward phase of a digitalisation process (instead of revising the whole system, eg smarter e-paper shelves).
Also - oh, touch the tags to tag them so the (BLE) system knows what product they represent. Yes, that is prob always the case with the initial (re)placing, especially with non-permanent items. The shelves restocking process basically (non-discount stores prob have a bit less of that).
