You can tell that they thought it all through, making it so it is recyclable as one piece, rather then making consumers have to seperate plastic and paper components. Another example of innovative thinking like this are the plates I recently came across, Verterra. apparently they're made entirely from palm leaves that would have otherwise been burnt as ag waste. They temper them with heat and cold so they're quite tough. And of course, being just leaves, they can be composted or just tossed out, they'll go away.
