I am forever tearing apart pizza boxes for compost. I can recycle the clean pieces, but how much of a pizza box is really clean?Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647906900944224234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-23934795527885544222008-11-06T12:44:00.000-05:002008-11-06T12:44:00.000-05:00You guys are giving me the creeps about the copper...You guys are giving me the creeps about the copper in the water and ink in the ground from pizza boxes. We are looking for a safe product to apply to concrete planter walls between the soil and concrete. This waterproofing material we are looking for has to be safe and not leech out. We are growing food here and hope not to poisen ourselves.Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02620175066904283918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-19991470942515623492008-11-05T09:19:00.000-05:002008-11-05T09:19:00.000-05:00Hi Red,Yes, pizza boxes have frustrated me too.

I just discovered that the industry standard for soy based inks is that they are allowed to include 30% VOC and still call it soy ink. I'll do some more research into this and let you know what I find out. Feel free to share any information you have on the topic.Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836531596317603886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-4653528399445828712008-11-05T08:40:00.000-05:002008-11-05T08:40:00.000-05:00Do we worry about the ink on the pizza boxes?

Even where inks are soy based, aren't there still solvents mixed in?Rejin L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09747838729715877419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-87392417462373803032008-11-04T15:36:00.000-05:002008-11-04T15:36:00.000-05:00Pizza boxes have been a source of frustration in m...Pizza boxes have been a source of frustration in my compost pile.

Much easier than cutting them up into small pieces. <BR/><BR/>Hi cityslipper,<BR/>I'm not surprised that the packaging sometimes costs as much as the product. That's just sad. Cardboard works great at killing grass that you want to turn into a flower bed too. Lay it out and them cover with compost and or mulch.

I once designed packaging for a product for retail sale. The packaging alone cost as much to produce as the product cost wholesale!<BR/><BR/>More importantly: I like your use of cardboard in your garden.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-12986628401839763842008-11-04T07:05:00.000-05:002008-11-04T07:05:00.000-05:00I saw this as well and was super happy about it. ...I saw this as well and was super happy about it. <BR/><BR/>I'll have to give that box in a bucket a try.
