Reusable Egg Carton Is Made from Recycled Materials
Pete and Gerry's Organic Eggs, a leading organic egg brand, announced the industry's first reusable egg carton. Currently in pilot at Co-Op Food Stores in New Hampshire and Vermont, the brand has seen a strong response to the program to date, with same-store sales growing weekly and numerous positive consumer messages.
The reusable cartons are made of recycled, durable, BPA-free plastic that can be washed at home and reused repeatedly. Once consumers have purchased a reusable carton, they may fill it up repeatedly from the Pete and Gerry's display of loose eggs which are discounted from a standard dozen, allowing the reusable carton to pay for itself over time. The brand encourages consumers to recycle its cartons or participate in the company's carton Take Back Program.
