Notpla

Sustainable packaging made from Notpla. We are a sustainable packaging start-up.

Ooho and our other packaging solutions are made from Notpla, a revolutionary material made from seaweed and plants that biodegrades in weeks, naturally. 🌱

We have created unique machines and materials to package your products in the most sustainable way.

The best thing since sliced bread? A window made from seaweed. 🥪

This National Sandwich Day, we’re looking beyond the sandwich itself, to what it comes in.

That small window showing off your lunch? We’ve found a way to make it from seaweed.

Our SeaView range combines transparent seaweed-based windows with our innovative seaweed-coated board. Together, they’re giving food-to-go packaging a fresh perspective, without the conventional plastic windows or linings.

Food-to-go packaging just got a little clearer.

Take a closer look at SeaView, link in our bio.

No-bottle. No-plastic.
Just a fiery little shot of innovation and a purpose-led collaboration...

Last week, we teamed up with innocent to bring a new, plastic-free experience to the residents of a tiny village called Nobottle in Northamptonshire.

The idea? What if you could enjoy a ginger shot without needing a plastic bottle at all?

Using Notpla’s edible Ooho technology, we wrapped innocent’s Fiery Ginger shot in a thin, seaweed-based membrane. Pop it in your mouth, enjoy the ginger kick, and eat the all-natural packaging too.

From Nobottle to a city centre sampling site nearby, the two-day pilot invited people to experience a completely different way of enjoying a familiar Innocent drink.

It was a fun experiment with a serious purpose: exploring what’s possible when we collectively rethink the materials we use, even for the smallest moments.

And it’s been brilliant to see the conversation spreading, with coverage from Packaging Europe FoodBev Media Hungry Tech Gateway Packaging

A big thank you to the innocent team for joining us in pushing the boundaries of packaging innovation.

Small shot. Big ideas.
No-bottle and No-plastic required.

Halloween 2026…some things are scarier when you can’t see them…🎃

Most food packaging has a hidden, thin plastic coating to protect against grease and moisture.

This invisible layer serves an important purpose, but means that the packaging can remain in the environment long after the treat has been consumed…

This Halloween, and everyday, we’re preventing this fright in everyday packaging, and using seaweed to create an all natural alternative.

No tricks, just seaweed. 🌊

A royal mention on The Graham Norton Show.

On Friday night, Prince William joined Graham Norton to discuss The 2026 in Mumbai, highlighting some of the success stories from previous years.

Among them was Notpla.

From our seaweed-based packaging to our partnership with , which aims to replace over 75 million single-use plastic items, it was incredible to hear our work recognised on national television.

A big thank you to Prince William and The Earthshot Prize for continuing to champion our mission to make plastic packaging disappear 🌎

Food packaging isn’t one size fits all. That’s where our designers come in.

From bespoke print and adapting existing formats to developing entirely new packaging designs, every food and every customer brings a different challenge.

Meet Tom Postlethwaite and August Ford, our Senior Product Designers who’ve spent the past eight years helping take Notpla’s seaweed-coated food packaging from early development to products now being used at scale.

Their work often starts with something simple. A customer brief, a flat sheet of seaweed-coated board and a few rounds of prototyping.

Sometimes it’s adapting an existing design. Other times, it’s finding a clever way to turn a flat sheet of board into a taco holder. 🌮

We caught up with Tom and August to explore their design process, some of the projects they’re most proud of and what it takes to turn customer ideas into packaging ready for the real world.

🎥 Meet the team in our latest video and read the full conversation on our blog, link in our bio.

What a week for the Notpla team…

We’ve been hosting, speaking and meeting people across London and Edinburgh. Here’s what we’ve been up to 👇

🌊 eXXpedition: The Power of the Journey | Hackney Wick
On Monday, we welcomed eXXpedition to Notpla HQ for an evening sharing stories and discoveries from their South Pacific missions.

Our Co-Founder Rodrigo García González opened the evening, before Emily Penn hosted a conversation with fellow voyagers Naomi Hansen, Karlijn Sibbel and Hannah Cook, exploring how experiences at sea can change the way we understand ocean pollution.

🏟️ Levy 2026 Vision Summit | Edinburgh
Our Co-Founder Pierre-Yves Paslier headed to Edinburgh, joining Lucas Garcez, Founder of Macawcoffee, on stage.

Pierre also caught up with familiar faces from The O2, Accor Arena and Johan Cruijff ArenA, discussing reusable packaging and natural materials in foodservice.

And it wasn’t all business. Pete Tong was behind the decks and Alastair Campbell even made an appearance on the bagpipes.

🎤 Blue Earth Summit | London
Our CRO Lise Honsinger and Sustainability and Impact Lead Lara Steinhobel attended a screening of Kuleana, a documentary exploring plastic pollution.

Lise then joined Sir Ben Ainslie and filmmaker Georgia Scott for a panel hosted by Ocean Bottle and moderated by Will Pearson, discussing the challenges ahead and reasons for optimism.

Our seaweed-based Ooho pods also made an appearance at a networking event with our fellow B Lab community.

🌱 HSBC Mycelium Bar | Blue Earth Summit
Elsewhere, our Head of Marketing Mel Connell and Category Lead Sarah Lewis were at the hsbc Mycelium Bar, talking to visitors about the possibilities of natural materials.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us, hosted us or stopped for a chat. It’s been great to see so many people coming together to share ideas and challenge how we do things.

New York Climate Week 2026 🗽
Taking seaweed packaging around the city.

From Wall Street to Staten Island, our seaweed-coated packaging got around during a week of events, conversations and new connections across NYC.

We caught up with familiar faces, met plenty of new ones, and joined conversations about plastic and human health, our oceans and the future of packaging.

And there are plenty more conversations underway about where Notpla could show up next across the US. 👀

What if the coffee cup didn’t need plastic? ☕

One year ago, we joined 13 partners across Europe, backed by €4 million in Horizon Europe funding, to explore exactly that.

12 months in, there’s been a lot happening behind the scenes.

Over the next few weeks, you’ll be hearing from the people behind the project. What we’ve learned, the challenges we’re tackling, and what comes next.

So, for International Coffee Day, we’re marking one year of rethinking the coffee cup. ☕

From plastics to seaweed. Meet Lara.

Lara Steinhobel has joined Notpla as our new Impact and Sustainability Lead, bringing with her years of experience from within the plastics industry and a valuable perspective on what it will take for natural materials to become a genuine alternative.

💬 “If we want natural materials to create real change, we need to understand the industry we’re trying to change. My experience in plastics has shown me what alternative materials need to deliver to become genuinely viable, from performance and manufacturing to scale. For me, change happens from within: working with industry to prove that bio-based alternatives don’t just belong in the conversation, but can become part of the future of manufacturing.”

Welcome to the team, Lara! 👋
