Brand develops edible seaweed-based packaging to reach the market soon
London-based startup Notpla (formerly Skipping Rocks Lab) has created a range of biodegradable packaging from seaweed and plants.
The company first started in 2014 with their “Ooho” product, an edible packaging for liquids. Ooho resembles a bubble of water and can be made in sizes varying from 10 to 100 millilitres. Since then, the company has developed the technology to manufacture compostable coatings and films. Carbon calculations carried out by the company based on its emissions factors revealed that Ooho has up to 90 per cent less carbon impact than an equivalent plastic container.
Last February, Notpla partnered with online delivery food service Just Eat to create seaweed-lined takeaway containers: “Notpla coating for paperboard”. The coating is completely natural and home compostable, providing grease proofing without adding plastic. This means that unlike many paper-based takeaway containers, which cannot be recycled due to the plastic lining, these can.
