New Gate Checking procedure for carry-ons

A while back I made mention of my set of laminated gate check labels, an effort to be more evnironmentally correct by not needing a new label for each flight. On a couple of recent Delta Connection flights, I have been forced to use new labels as it is claimed they are now scanning the gate checked luggage.

I do not understand why re-using the same label should be a problem, especially if the scan is related to the flight. In fact, I think it would be a good idea for Delta, or any other airline, to issue their frequent fliers with permanent gate check labels (like my laminated ones) to save using all that paper.
