From the logo outside to the tables, chairs, and even the hotpots inside, almost all the furniture and decor are made of cartons, the first restaurant of its kind in Shanghai.

The cartons are specially made to be water and heat resistant and can be recycled.

Customers can enjoy a delicious meal cooked in a carton hotpot, which can withstand temperatures as high as 250 degrees, according to the restaurant owner. Customers also can take the drinking box and use it as a small garbage can or a money box at home.

The restaurant is part of a carton creativity park in Shanghai that exhibits hundreds of products made of cartons.
