How to throw a pizza box in the trash?
Pizza boxes usually belong in the paper bin or with the waste paper because they are made of cardboard. However, if the pizza box is very dirty, for example with grease or food scraps, or has a coating, it should be disposed of in the residual waste because it can contaminate the waste paper and/or disrupt the recycling process. Our pizza boxes are made of kraft paper and can be disposed of directly in the paper bin.

Why is the pizza round and the box square?
Why is the pizza round and the box square?
The pizza is round because it is easier to roll out and shape the dough evenly by rotating it in a circular motion. This results in even distribution of ingredients and ensures that the pizza cooks evenly. The box is square because it is made from flat cardboard and square boxes are easier and less expensive to make, store and stack than round boxes.
A square box also offers a more stable base for transport and prevents the pizza from slipping or being damaged during transport. You can also find square pizza boxes for your catering business at Better-Pack!
