Why the UK's smartest food traders are ditching plastic for packaging that disappears like nature intended.

What if you could not only drink the water, but eat the packaging too? It sounds like something from the future, but it's happening right now, thanks to Ooho, our revolutionary seaweed-based packaging that's helping turn the tide on single-use plastic.

This International Compost Awareness Week, we're breaking down how takeaway food packaging breaks down - and why that matters for the planet, your operations, and your customers.

Every Earth Day, we're reminded that the answers to our planet's biggest problems are often found in nature itself. At Notpla, nature powers our approach to creating innovative plastic-free food packaging.

Big changes are coming to packaging in Europe. The EU's new Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) aims to tackle waste, boost recycling, and phase out harmful materials. It's a bold step toward a more circular future but what does it mean for your business?

As we celebrate another Global Recycling Day, it's the perfect time to explore exciting new possibilities for takeaway food packaging. While recycling plays a valuable role in our sustainability journey, we now have the opportunity to reach for even better solutions to our plastic challenges. Despite our collective recycling efforts, the data reveals an inspiring opportunity: we can completely reimagine how takeaway packaging works.

PFAS are everywhere - even in your food packaging. They don’t break down, they’re toxic, and they’re costing us our lives. With bans on the horizon in the food packaging industry, it’s time for a better solution. Seaweed has the answer.

We recently sat down with our Product Designer August Ford to share an inside look at the new product development process of our packaging solutions, tailored to our customers' needs. At Notpla we prioritise the ability to constantly design new products, of different shapes and sizes, that meet our consumers' evolving preferences while reflecting our commitment to sustainability.

Notpla has successfully raised £20 million in our latest funding round, doubling our initial target. This investment will power our expansion into North America and accelerate the development of our innovative seaweed-based packaging solutions.
