“Finally, a box that is truly made to biodegrade.”

That’s the copy you’ll find on Just Eat Takeaway’s carryout packaging. Plastic gets crossed out, and seaweed is checked off, a nod to the innovative material used for the to-go containers.

We don’t need to remind you of the single-use smorgasbord that is restaurant takeaway packaging. All you need to do is order your favorite go-to fried treat, and the next thing you know you’re looking at a plastic bag holding a brown paper bag filled with a plastic tub full of delicious eats and some plastic spoons and forks. Or maybe you got one of those cardboard boxes lined with a plastic coating that’s impossible to recycle. Either way, it’s not even close to ideal.
