Those trays in the photo. Are they still used in Canada? They’ve been gone for years in the UK.

Some styrofoam, some blow-molded plastic trays.

And the juice absorbing liner is always plastic, too.

Yup. And in many cities (and almost every small town) styrofoam is non-recyclable.

It’s far past the time Big Business should be forced to fund recycling facilities for their choice of packaging.
