14 DAY TRIAL // Good News Reuse is a organization with an ambitious earth-friendly goal. It wants to improve the food and beverage industry by minimizing the negative influence it has upon the environment. Many people aren't aware of the fact that most of the wrappers company use to deliver their products are not recyclable.
Pizza boxes, for example. We would be tempted to believe that they are eco-friendly, since they are manufactured out of cardboard.
The fact is that grease and oil from pizza damages the fabric's fibers, making the item unable to be recycled.
Therefore, it shouldn't surprise us that three billion pizza boxes end up in landfills every year, according to the company's officials. If we take into consideration the official voices, that is enough to circle the Earth 26 times.
By putting them together, one would obtain a surface equal to 111,666,667 football fields.
Researchers want to face the challenge of coming up with a proper green substitute for the traditional cardboard box.
Following this path, Good News Reuse developed the Pi Pan, a new kind of wrapper which has the appropriate chemical structure that permits a potential recycling process.
The manufacturers used lightweight commercial stainless steel that does not contain BPA, a chemical hazardous to out planet. This kind of steel is used in the process of obtaining recyclable water bottles.
Despite the fact that this fabric is earth-friendly because it can be reused over 1,000 times, it also comes in favor of all pizza fans, due to the fact that is makes pizza even crispier and it keeps the product hot for a longer period of time.
At this moment in time, the organization plans to work in partnership with schools and independent companies, in order to launch its innovative product.
Their strategy is quite simple and effective: pizza will be sold in a new, earth-friendly container, and the used Pi Pans can be collected the next day, when the following delivery will take place.
The organization already started to collect funds fro this new ecological project. If they manage applying the stainless steel pan's advantages all around the US, Pi Pan will soon be as known as the brown paper bag we are used to find in every grocery store.
