A pizza box that can double up as plates and also one that can function as storage for left-overs. Sheer genius it is! I hope the idea catches on and the major pizza chains start using it!

A quote about the green pizza box from the Daily Green website says, “”Three billion pizza boxes are used in the U.S. every year,” said Wright. “If you stacked them on top of each other, in two years you’d reach the moon…We feel like we’re doing our part for the environment, one pizza box at a time.”
