The most ambitious step when it comes to egg packaging is to skip it altogether. However unless you have your own chickens and can thus ‘grow’ organic eggs or have an excellent farmer’s market that sells bulk eggs (which you can place in a basket to purchase) you will have to deal with packaging. That said, your first step should be to buy organic eggs that come in easy to recycle packaging. Avoid those icky old Styrofoam egg cartons at all costs.
