Notpla creates sustainable packaging solutions from seaweed and plants that disappear naturally. Winner of the Earthshot Prize 2022, Notpla has developed Ooho – an edible liquid packaging product – and a takeaway box coating and single-use film sachet replacements. To date, the company's solutions have replaced 2.8 million pieces of single-use plastic, keeping them from entering the environment.
