The industry's trade association, the Retail Council of Canada, said the new policy "unfortunately" targets large grocers exclusively.

"Which is impractical, as Canadian retailers lack direct control and influence over the global supply chain," said Michelle Wasylyshen, the council's national spokesperson.

I'm in the US, but I've seen plenty of plastic egg cartons. Most are paper, but plastic isn't uncommon in my experience.

The only plastic cartons for eggs I've seen were clear plastic ones for colored Easter eggs.

Styrofoam cartons used to be common. Don't seem them much anymore, granted.

Definitely not where I am living. We only had the same cartons going all the way back into the 90s.
