Our Sustainability journey
single-use pizza boxes saved
by using PIZZycle
THE CREATION OF
A SUSTAINABLE
PIZZA BOX
Back in March 2020, when the world was haunted by a global pandemic and the consumption of resource intensive single-use packaging reached all time highs, design students Marlene and Luise came up with the idea of a sustainable, and reusable pizza box. Co-developed for almost 2 years with Filip and pizzaiolos from all over the world, PIZZycle was finally born in 2022.
INNOVATION BY DESIGN
When we envisioned the perfect reusable and recyclable pizza box, we not only wanted to safe ressources by designing a functional and durable product, but also by making the manufacturing process itself as sustainable as possible. Finally, we ended up with a revolutionary approach, making bottom and lid of PIZZycle identical. This allowed us to cut down needed ressources and emissions for making the tool by half.
We strongly believe that timeless, minimalistic design and sustainability go hand in hand.
MANUFACTURING
Paying fair wages, reducing emissions from transportation, fulfilling strong food safety and product quality requirements, there are countless of reasons why we believe in local production and sourcing. As a German-based company, we are proud to say that PIZZycle is Made in Germany and every material we use is being produced in Europe.
REUSABILITY AND
RECYCLABILITY
Pizza boxes made from resource and emission-intensive cardboard are single-use. As the the name indicates, they can only be used once and are not or hard to recycle. Each year billions of pizza cardboard boxes are being thrown away. Using highest quality polypropylene, each PIZZycle replaces hundreds of pizza cardboard boxes and is 100 % recyclable.
