This years easter eggs came with much less plastic than ever before! Very impressive but has taken a long time to get to the stage where manufacturers are starting to think about this as a consumer issue.

My mum has used the egg shaped plastic as chocolate mould to make her own home-made Easter eggs!

Although,,,,I really like Diane’s idea. I’m for all manufacturers being held responsible for their by-products.

The best use I’ve found for segmented “trays” is for sorting or storing small objects; seeds, screws, nuts, bolts, or other objects with similiar shapes and functions. Granted, they may be be difficult to stack without flat inserts between layers.

someone i know suggested using the plastic egg-shaped mould for papier mache eggs next year. you can make the egg and then fill it with little chocolate ones. nice little easter project for the kids, and adults alike! i think i might try this myself next year as i love crafts :)

I use the foil and cardboard packaging to make cards out of.

Would it be worth sending it back to the manufacturer with a letter asking how to recycle it?

Carboard – recycle, pretty obviously.

Plastic – use for protecting items in the post?

Silver foil – use in the garden to scare birds, or for art projects.
