When you think about the cost of eggs, you may be wondering how you can save. The answer may be right in front of your eyes – in the packaging of these eggs. Whether the packaging is smaller or larger, it offers a number of creative and practical uses.
Recycling? Better use it at home
It’s interesting that most of us automatically think of egg wrappers as paper waste. However, it is not as suitable for traditional recycling as one might think. Instead, it can end up in landfills, where it gradually decomposes. But why should you throw away the packaging when it can be used at home?
Compost: Your green alternative
If you care about ecology and have compost at home, we have some advice for you. You can simply tear the eggshell into smaller pieces and add it to the compost. By mixing with other organic material, it gradually decomposes and returns to the soil.
Use in the garden
Many of us are looking for ways to protect our garden from weeds or to mark paths and borders. Egg wrappers can be the right solution. Their soft and malleable structure is ideal as a substitute for mulching bark. And what is the best? They will gradually die down and will not threaten your plants.

A natural helper when planting
Experienced gardeners know the trick of pre-germinating small seeds. For example, lettuce seeds need to be allowed to germinate before planting. And this is where the egg wrapper comes in! Simply place the seed in one of the holes and let it germinate. When it’s time to transplant, just cut open the packaging and transplant it with the plant into the flower bed. The cardboard cup will ensure that the plant has a good grip and will gradually decompose.
Creative activities
In addition to being used in the garden, egg cartons can also be used as original tools and accessories in the home. Believe it or not, they can become great organizers for small things like pins, rubber bands or buttons. And if you have kids, cardboard is a great starting point for a variety of creative projects and crafts.
