Following on from Florence's thread about plastic take away containers and recycling., I was surprised to find out that the cardboard egg cartons should not be reused. I often buy eggs at the side of the road, and take my cartons back when I next pass by. A few months ago I happened to come across a farm shop that had eggs on display in trays When I got my carton out to help myself to eggs I was told that I could not use it, I had to use one of those next to the display !! Health and Safety gone slightly mad |

Why?My friend keeps chickens and we reuse the boxes over and over.When she brings 6 eggs,we give her back the previous box. |

Apparently, it's due to a 2008 DEFRA regulation: |

.......and what about all the nursery children, who use egg boxes to make caterpillars and other creatures when junk modelling? |

Or is it a perceived problem not proven? I know Grandson re-uses egg boxes, but he does give eggs mainly to family. |

I think the main problem is where people crack eggs and put the eggshells back into the carton, and a small amount of egg white dribbles onto the carton. |

I agree Gwyn as when I was working in schools, we always had a "junk" box full of cartons, egg boxes etc to make models in art or themes. Once we made huge models of Iron man...they were amazing. |

You can use the cardboard egg boxes to start off seedlings the plant out the seedling still in it’s little egg shaped pot. |
