Last year, Covid-19 had a tremendous effect on the egg market. Egg packaging, in general, is a tight business in the United States. There are only 8 suppliers. Due to a boost in shell egg sales, they faced record shortages. We were forced to look across the sea for other suppliers. Unfortunately, the shortage is expected to last indefinitely. To keep America fed and because we are committed to sustainability, we chose to fill in the gaps with plastic cartons. The supplier we chose uses 100% plastic waste to make their products. Waste that may have otherwise ended up in oceans or landfills. Their products are fully recyclable, and the recycling industry is very much aware of the value of the material, that is why the amount of packaging that will be recycled in the coming years will increase dramatically. Also, plastic packaging helps to prevent food waste by offering high stability and perfect conditions for packing food. More information on this can be found at www.earthfriendlypackaging.net
