Ahh…pizza. That tried-and-true comfort food we all know and love. Well, here’s something else that’s comforting: pizza boxes can be recycled.
That’s right. Performance Food Group, the foodservice distribution company that’s been keeping your pies piping hot and delivered fresh for years has partnered with the WestRock corporation to bring you Sustainable Choices™ - and we are here to educate our customers about corrugated pizza box recycling.
WestRock, manufacturer of the world’s most recognized pizza boxes, developed a ZIP code lookup tool (found at the top of this page) that will help you scan, learn, and recycle your pizza box.
