Speaking of pizza, how bad cardboard can be though ?? It's not as light as styrofoam, but then also almost non-toxic, and almost entirely recyclable ?

- reaperman 3y agoRight now pretty much any paper product that comes in contact with food is also made of plastics / hydrocarbons. https://civileats.com/2014/11/06/meet-the-chemicals-lurking-in-your-pizza-boxes-and-take-out-containers/ https://civileats.com/2014/11/06/meet-the-chemicals-lurking-...
- BlueTemplar 3y agoThat's a decade ago, "right now" things have changed, at least partially : https://chemtrust.org/wp-content/uploads/PFAS-UK-food-packaging_CHEMTrust_May2021.pdf https://chemtrust.org/wp-content/uploads/PFAS-UK-food-packag... A rule of thumb seems to be that oil drop test : PFAS make fibers grease-repelling. Of course it could also just be from a very thin (and much less toxic I assume ?) layer of polyethylene that those non-recyclable "paper" cups seem to use ?
