Carrefour fights food waste with loose eggs

French retailer Carrefour is selling loose eggs in all hypermarkets to save around 3.5 million eggs from being wasted per year. If eggs in a box are broken, all of the eggs have to be scrapped. In Carrefour hypermarkets the ‘zero waste challenge’ units offer unbroken eggs from boxes in which broken eggs have been found – customers can pick six eggs from the unit for EUR 0.50.
