The New Zealand govt banned plastic boxes for takeaways years ago.
They all have to be cardboard-based, so they biodegrade.

Does that also work for Chinese take-away? Lot of fluids in that
(water, sauce, etc).

I've still got my plastic Chinese takeaway boxes from years ago. Very
useful.

Only if you carry them with you on the offchance that you might want a
Chinese takeaway, so the food can be dispensed into those instead of a
cardboard box.

I wonder how the people in NZ get round the problem of serving "wet" foods
with sauces in boxes that are not watertight? Waxed paper might work up to a
point, but you'd have to be *very* careful not to crush them and to get the
food home as quickly as possible,
