Recycle Carton box an Alternative to plastic Packaging for egg

Egg; the most listed item in family grocery. Individuals can purchase eggs in single-use plastic bags or clear plastic blister boxes made for eggs at the local market. An additional charge applies for a plastic carton, while plastic bags are free of charge. A household shops from 6-10 eggs during the visit to the local market. However, standard Packaging for supermarket shoppers comes in 10 eggs per plastic carton.
Some families buy eggs in bulk; in that case, the eggs are packed in a flat plastic mould that can hold 30 eggs, and customers pay the deposit for this type of Packaging.
PREVENT PLASTICS see the need in the market to reduce the excess plastic waste that comes from egg consumption. With the technical assistance from Chu Chu, Myanmar social enterprise re-designing waste material into beautifully handcrafted household goods and personal accessories to develop an efficient and achievable alternative to reduce plastic waste on egg packaging.

Trainee received equipment to help and nurture women-led micro and small green businesses. PREVENT PLASTICS will support supplies such as used carton boxes and logistics arrangements, plus repurchase the eco-friendly and biodegradable egg boxes during the two-month pilot period. In addition to that, PREVENT PLASTICS closely monitor the progress of the individual following Batch Flow and One-Piece Flow methods.
