An egg carton made from moulded paper mache is recyclable and classed as paper/cardboard. If made from compressed foam or plastic, it may not be - check with your local council , or put it in the general waste bin.
Milk carton
Original milk cartons were made of paper cardboard coated with a wax material to make it water and leak proof. Now they are paper cardboard coated with plastic or made entirely out of plastic material.
some are made from recycled paper fiber, others from plastic, while the most common are made of polystyrene foam.
A standard carton of copy paper typically weighs around 50 pounds, but this can vary based on the paper weight and number of sheets in the carton.

The first paper milk carton was introduced in 1933. Wax was applied to the paper, to make it waterproof. In 1940, polyethylene was introduced as the waterproofing material. Refillable glass bottles reigned for a long time after milk cartons were introduced, but by 1968, over 70% of milk packaged in the United States went into paper cartons.
Victor Farris was the inventor of the paper milk carton. In 1932, plastic-coated paper milk cartons were introduced commercially. In 1964, the all plastic milk container was commercially introduced.

To calculate paper consumption for making a corrugated carton, you need to determine the dimensions and weight of the finished carton. Start by calculating the surface area of the carton, which includes the outer dimensions of all sides. Then, use the grammage (weight per unit area) of the paper used to produce the carton to find the total paper weight needed. Finally, consider any additional factors like waste during cutting and folding to get a more accurate estimate of total paper consumption.
A typical copy-paper carton can hold about 10 reams of paper, which is equivalent to 5,000 sheets of paper. The weight capacity can vary depending on the type of paper, but it generally ranges from 20 to 50 pounds.
