A new design of pizza box which breaks down into serving plates and a storage container for left overs, has been launched in the US.Makers say their 'Green Box' is specially created to be more eco-friendly
because it performs a dual purpose and is easier to dispose of.
Pizza-lovers start by ripping along the patented perforations and scores in the top of the box to create the 'plates'.
They then perform a basic bit of origami to convert the bottom into a handy storage box which fits into all fridges.
Personally I am waiting for them to come up with a pizza box which is made out of pizza. Mmmm packaging.

A spokesperson for Eco Incorporated, makers of the Green Box, said: "The pizza box design has remained unchanged for the past thirty years.
"The box is too unwieldy to store uneaten pizza and takes up too much space in the trash can and is totally environmentally unfriendly.
"The Green Box breaks down easily into convenient serving plates, eliminating the need for environmentally unfriendly disposable serving plates."
