Pizza lovers, have no fear. An eco-friendly pizza box is FINALLY here!

I believe that no one should have to choose between harming the environment or enjoying their delicious, cheesy pizza pie, and now you won’t have to. An environmentally friendly company, Ecoincorporated, has recently created a multipurpose pizza box that they call “The Green Box.” This pizza box has one side that can be broken down into 4 “plates” and the other side conveniently folds into a storage container that is perfect for any fridge! All that AND this box is made of entirely recyclable material. Even better, according to an Earthandindustry Green Gadgets Blog, the box is of no extra cost to the manufacturer, which is always an incentive to the market to really grab this new idea and run.

While pizza boxes cannot usually be recycled because of the grease from pizza, this box will work double duty. It will not only keep your pizza fresh while being delivered but also serve as the plates you eat on and the box you store it in. So while it probably cannot be recycled, it makes up for it with the other 2 R’s; REDUCE and REUSE! All the more reason to eat more pizza!
