Many people today are choosing to replace real eggs with plant-based eggs. Below is a recipe to make your own. But if you don’t the bother, you can now buy vegan hard-boiled eggs! Look for these brands in grocery stores.

You can recycle packaging at supermarket bag bins, if kerbside does not collect. Before cooking, read up on food safety for people & pets.

This is what happened during the pandemic when one woman bought three duck eggs (presumed unfertilised) from Waitrose. But they hatched (thankfully she knew what she was doing). She named them Beep, Peep & Meep!
WunderEggs (USA) is an interesting company that makes plant-based hard-boiled eggs from nuts, yeast, rosemary extract, spices and black salt. This makes a good ‘egg salad’ for sandwiches.
