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

Yup, they're ubiquitous around here.

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.

Some styrofoam, some blow-molded plastic trays.

And the juice absorbing liner is always plastic, too.
