Awesome!! I would definitely buy a pizza from a company that had a box like this over one that didn’t.
in any case the used plates and container have to be thrown away eventally , all u are doing is breaking up thebox which wuld have been disposed off whole !!
maybe it eliminates the need to wash more plates and use foil to wrap it up in the fridge and its made of recycled material.
yes thts true , OK so all the very best in your venture !
who wants to touch a greasy pizza box?
ok im clear this isn’t a joke now *cough* green party *cough*
Yes, but you are eliminating the need of the intermediate plates and wrap for unconsumed product…. Hence, the reduction overall. Also, by utilizing recycled pulp, you significantly reduce the amount of water and energy needed to produce the pulp for forming into webs to send to the corrugator to make the box.
Its a pizza box that provides placemats and storage for the pizza contained within the box. So you save 4 paper plates and a foot of saran wrap every time you order pizza.
