Yes, except tinfoil is also bad for the environment, it’s just that plastic is what’s getting attention these days.

I was told that the trick is to not have the egg in its shell.

Take a cup, fill it one third with water, then crack your egg in the cup. Now it can’t build up pressure, it can’t explode.

It microwaved without exploding. As I took it out of the microwave, it exploded. It went everywhere. The floor, the ceiling, every cabinet door. I count myself lucky that I didn’t get boiling hot egg in my eyes.

Also, the noise attracted attention from everybody in the house, no way to just discretely clean it up before anyone noticed my stupid experiment.
