Ecovention, LLC is a design and licensing firm, dedicated to improving outmoded, outdated and wasteful food packaging. Ecovention is marketing its first product, the ‘GreenBox’ (US Patent 7,051,919), a pizza box manufactured from 100% recycled material. The top of the ‘GreenBox’ breaks down into convenient serving plates, eliminating the need for disposable plates. The remainder of the box converts easily into a handy storage container, eliminating the need for plastic wrap, tin foil or plastic bags. The perforations and scores that create this functionality allow for easy disposal into a standard-sized recycling bin. Made from a standard pizza blank, the ‘GreenBox’ requires no additional material or major redesign and can therefore be produced at no additional manufacturing cost. Ecovention, LLC owns the utility patent on the ‘GreenBox.’

Nicely Done - Simple Solutions are often the best, too many times solutions become complex enough to require yet more effort to work. This solution has no issues. Congrats.

Great design... the sad thing is the patent... That's not so green at the end if manufacturers have to pay patents to use that design...

It would be nice if such designs were made for a better planet and not for a better way of making money using the "Environment friendly" as bait.

... but it's a clever design anyway.

someone is going to make a profit on it. there's no point in the designer forgoing his cut.

Great to have a GREEN product, a genius design, creating a game while getting attention to the environment.
If the patent fees are fair then everybody wins, including the planet.
This can absolutely be used as a fantastic PR caper by the pizza companies ! Wish I had thought about that :)

Great idea!

Seems kinda unnecessary, frankly. Just use regular plates instead of paper. Who has leftover pizza?? :) Also, you can't put a pizza box in the recycle bin because of the grease/food. You need composting for that. And if you have composting, you can already dispose of the whole pizza box in a green way. But hey, if Domino's starts using 'em more power to em.

Notice how the stats really spiked today - after this video went up on Huffington Post.

I fail to see how this diverts waste. Most people I know use normal dishes and not paper plates for pizza when at home. Leftover pizza is thrown into the fridge inside the original box or on a plate with a bit of plastic wrap on top.
The cardboard is still not acceptable by most recyclers because of the food waste and grease on it. Their heart is in the right place but I had hoped to see something like a pizza box that uses 50% less cardboard.

this is a very clever design, but also a good way to use more cardboard.
I usually use regular plates. But now I might also cut the box to make my own eco-plates!

anyway it is a clever and kind of a nice spin to the classic pizza box!

Nothing new.

Great, fun idea!! My pizza restaurant places the cooked pizza on a piece of paper(like a form of waxed paper) in the box so that when I eat the pizza, the cardboard is clean, thus recyclable!! Why can't everyone do that?!!
Rene Flores 8 months ago

Regarding the selling point that the folded pizza box fits more easily into the recycling bin... The problem is that pizza boxes are not recyclable. Food residue in the cardboard would contaminate the paper stream. Unlike glass or aluminum, paper is not easily separated from food residue. So paper recyclers must currently reject pizza boxes and any other paper products that have come in contact with food.

Suuuper nice i hope pizzas start coming like that soon!

Interesting design - very clever - but I fail to see how this is green. Most pizza boxes are made from recycled materials since only low grade cardboard is required, and I rarely throw away my places when I have finished eating pizza from them or when I have finished storing them in my fridge.

From what I can see this is encouraging people to spoil the cardboard by eating from it which then results in cardboard which can not longer be recycled. It would be more eco friendly to eat from plates and then recycle the unspoiled card which remains...

That said this is a great design, but I think it is marketed incorrectly. This is not a green product.
