Like we needed another excuse to order pizza?! As we celebrate National Pizza Week, we can use this as an opportunity to remind you to recycle your empty pizza boxes! There are approximately 3 billion pizza boxes used yearly in the U.S. – these boxes equate to 600,000 tons of cardboard that can be recycled. #NationalPizzaWeek https://bit.ly/3t0Sk7R

Cardboard or paperboard—what’s the difference? Paperboard is heavier than regular paper and we know it from things like cereal or pasta boxes. Cardboard is composed of 3 layers of heavy paper and is used for things like pizza boxes and shipping boxes. Both are sustainable, reliable, cost effective and recyclable! https://bit.ly/3A1tbtO
