New Dutch pizza box stays warm longer Inland

Ton Kooiman, 65, has already won prizes with his invention of the “Cartonney”. Kooiman tells the NHD that he got the idea when he was annoyed by the pizza that got cold too quickly after an evening of overtime. “Then you will eat faster or your pizza will be cold and I, like many other people, hate it.” He was also disappointed that the whole box had to be thrown away.

Thanks to the hatch and the turntable, the pizza stays warm longer, the inventor says.

The inventor went to work and cut a hatch in the back of his new box with scissors. “Then it stayed warmer, but you still had to open the box every time to turn the pizza.” He then invented a turntable, which he slid under the pizza and cut another hole at the back for better turning. The idea for the sustainable pizza box was born.

What many people do not know is that pizza boxes are not allowed to dispose of the old paper because they are contaminated with leftover food. The turntable collects the grease, leaving only that to be discarded. The disc now makes it possible to save 12 million square meters of paper, he claims.

According to the newspaper, Kooiman negotiates with large parties. According to him, the box is “only slightly more expensive” than the known one.
