Don’t throw away egg trays anymore! Turn waste into treasure in just a few simple steps. Keep it at home conveniently and save money.

Egg trays can be composted or used for crafting purposes.

This refers specifically to the paper pulp egg tray, because it is made of plant fiber and can be decomposed by microorganisms. If you have a compost bin or pile, you can tear up the egg trays and put them in there.

It can increase the carbon-nitrogen ratio and air permeability of compost, and promote the maturity and quality of compost. What's more, egg trays absorb excess moisture and odors, reducing the smell and stickiness of your compost. Of course, if you don’t have a compost bin or compost pile, you can also tear the egg tray into small pieces and bury them in the soil or put them in a flower pot, and they will slowly decompose into organic fertilizer.

If you like to do some creative handicrafts, then the egg tray is also a good material. You can cut it, color it, paste it, decorate it, etc. to make a variety of works. For example, you can use egg trays to make some pendants, ornaments or toys in the shapes of animals, flowers, fruits, etc.; you can also use egg trays to make some holiday-themed decorations, which are also very practical.
