If a pizza box transforms into four plates and a smaller box for leftovers, I say that qualifies as a gadget. This thing looks a lot more practical than that cardboard PC we saw a while back. If this becomes a standard (and why wouldn’t it?), these guys stand to make a lot of money — like the guy who invented the little “table” that keeps the cheese from hitting the roof of the box. And more importantly, they’ll have saved a ton of paper and water due to lessened use of disposable plates and dishwashers.

I’ve been seeing biodegradable containers taking over here in Seattle, which is a great thing, but if I’m honest the actual containers themselves are inferior. If you get something like this GreenBox going on, you’ve got a superior product and a greener one. Home run.
