Shoppers in The Netherlands and Germany can purchaseRondeel eggs in compostable, injection-molded cartons made of a foamed starch/fiber material from PaperFoam bv., Barneveld, The Netherlands. The carton is lightweight and renewable, and has other commercial packaging applications. 

In close cooperation withRondeel, PaperFoam is bringing its first “egg box” compostable egg carton to market. TheRondeelsystem is a new concept in sustainable egg layer housing systems for hens, based on the idea of finding the balance between public acceptance, the well being of farmers and the welfare of the chickens.

The newPaperFoamegg packaging is made from a 100%-bio-based material. After use, the carton can be recycled with paper or can be composted, if desired. The great advantage ofPaperFoamover conventional egg packaging is the low carbon footprint and the lightweight.
