Greenbox Australia - The Pizza Box of the 21st Century The team here at West Metro Packaging Co had a desire to bring to market a new and innovative rethink on everyday food and beverage packaging products that we all know and utilise.

The love of pizza prompted us to start with the pizza box!

We scoured the world in the hopes of sparking the project to life! And that's when we found GreenBox! A brand new innovative pizza box that is made from recycled material and has serving plates and a storage container built right in! The super smart box eliminates the need for environmentally damaging materials like disposable plates, aluminium foil and plastic wrap.

We thought Australians would love the idea – not only clever and environmentally friendly, but no more dishes after pizza, more room in the fridge after storing the left overs, more room in the recycle bin, great at the beach and park … it was gold!

After a flight to the US and a few days of talks with the great folks of Ecovention in New York City, we left with the privilege of being the licensee of GreenBox within Australia. And this is where all the hard work began!

We starting planning all we had to do with this brilliant box and a brain wave hit us. What if, when you purchased a pizza from your local pizza store, the humble box was not only a smart idea that made things easier and environmentally friendly but could help create opportunities for people across the globe to be empowered and break the cycle of poverty.

And this is when we met Greenaid, an innovative organisation who's mission statement is 'Making Life Better'. We worked with Greenaid so that sales of the famous GreenBox in Australia supports one of the Greenaid Food Projects across the world. Wether it be a Food Store in Siem Riep in Cambodia, or Kenya in Africa, these projects have been designed to give people an opportunity to be educated in self sustainable living practices to help keep their families protected.

If you would like to find out more about Greenaid and what the team get up to, please head to http://mygreenaid.co

‘Community’ to us means the environment and the people all around us. Our community is our responsibility.

We hope you have as much fun using the GreenBox as we have had bringing it to Australia.

West Metro and all of its stakeholders including Ecovention, and Greenaid are so happy to bring to you GreenBox Australia – supporting the community … one pizza box at a time!
