Seaweed boxes can solve the problems of food suppliers

Online food delivery business Just Eat, together with sustainable packaging firm Notpla, has developed what it describes as a “fully recyclable” takeout box lined with seaweed – origo wrote after CNBC.

In an announcement published on Tuesday, Just Eat told that the container is able to decompose in four weeks if put in a home compost. The seaweed-lined cardboard boxes are produced from tree and grass pulp, and contain no synthetic additives, according to the company.

The containers are being tested with three of Just Eat’s “restaurant partners” in London. The trial will use 3,600 boxes and will last until they have all been sent out. (origo)
