I'd say maybe pizza boxes should stop saying they're recyclable and start saying "DO NOT RECYCLE AFTER CONTACT WITH FOOD"...
- mick87 8y agoMy local recycling company clearly states that I should recycle used pizza boxes in the "paper packaging" box when searching on their webpage. So I guess it depends on the recycling process.
- Reason077 8y agoThey should place a layer of grease-proof paper between the pizza and the box. In fact I could swear some pizza places used to do this, many years ago? But at least Pizza boxes are biodegradable. Unlike plastic waste, they don't end up dispersed in our environment and washing up on beaches years later.
