As editor of Does your family buy a lot of takeout pizza? If so, this plastics-related innovation might be for you:
According to a report from WANE TV in Fort Wayne, Ind., a pizza shop in Convoy, Ohio, this week started to offer its customers plastic pizza boxes.
Knights Pizza manager Ronnie Reidenbach said switching from cardboard can help the environment, because plastic boxes can be reused up to 500 times.
The box itself costs customers $12.95. But after they buy it, every time they reuse it they get $1 off their pizza, Reidenbach said.
I suppose that's also a good way to keep customers from buying pizzas from other restaurants.
