- Notpla have created a home compostable alternative to plastic which is derived from seaweed. An abundant, diverse organism found all over the world, seaweed can be cultivated without competing for land with food crops, doesn’t need fresh water or fertiliser, and actively contributes to de-acidifying our oceans.
Notpla’s food packaging, edible bubbles, paper and pipettes are already being used commercially and the company was selected as the winner of Prince William’s Earthshot Prize 2022, in the category of ‘Build a Waste-Free World’.
Nearly 10 billion tonnes of plastic have been produced in little more than a hundred years - with an additional half a billion tonnes being produced each year. While plastic has revolutionised the way we live, it has created oceans and mountains of waste which can’t be absorbed by nature. We need to come up with alternatives to plastic packaging if we are to protect the ecosystems on which we depend.

I wish you so much luck in introducing this material to the wide market! Great job!
We shouldn't be surprised once we see this seaweed based packaging in European stores since its possible relatively easy to do in Europe because its closer.
Something good for a change.
I hope you can get it to market quick! We really need solutions now!
not possible on large scale
Dont get your hopes up. Once in every while a movie like this comes up, and it never materialises. Wanna know why? There is nothing to financially gain from this. Sad bit true.
I am so impressed... Thank you
Save our ocean 🌊 ❤
There's a 750 billion dollar expansion plant that's gonna ensure this never gets to market😂
How long will one liquid filled notpla capsule last?
Endeavors like this are so important.
That sounds amazing.
The main reason we're still using plastics, is because the people in those businesses don't, and I Mean DON'T want to shift out of that biz. They are hell bent on continuing for as long as possible. We need to shift them out by being careful who we vote for.
Obviously, I carn’t disagree with you, outright. But, isn’t voting in the right politician or politicians only one aspect of the broad challenges society faces in transitioning from unsustainable to sustainable packaging?
biodegrading in weeks is problematic for food storage...I have food in my pantry that is in there for longer...kept viable by containers that don't degrade.
I'd rather use plastic than buy things that come wrapped in seaweed!! Ridiculous!!! And environmentally damaging.
It’s weird you say the clearly environmentallly friendly thing is damaging to the environment than plastic* that is known to cause great harm to our ecosystem, your lack of awareness and willingness to understand is really shocking, you should rethink your values if you think your short term “comfort” Is more important than the long term of the planet.
