From sea to source: the voyage begins 🌊

has arrived in Tongatapu and today joins the crew as they set sail across the South Pacific to investigate plastic pollution at sea.
In her first few days on the island, she’s already spotted plastic pollution firsthand, a reminder of why this work matters.

Before setting sail, the crew gathered with scientists, local communities and supporters of the mission, alongside a small showcase of Notpla materials designed as alternatives to single-use plastic.

For us, this journey is about more than packaging. It’s about understanding how materials move through the world, where pollution comes from, and how better solutions can be designed upstream.

We’ll be sharing updates from onboard over the coming days.

A window into the future.

Food-to-go packaging has become part of the background. Functional, fast, disposable.

But most “paper” food packaging still relies on plastic coatings and windows to perform.

SeaView was designed to rethink that system without disrupting it.
No plastic window. No plastic lining. No compromise on functionality.

Already being introduced across workplace catering environments like Arup’s canteens, SeaView has been designed to work within existing shelves, service flows and grab-and-go environments, proving natural materials can operate at real scale.

This is what the future of food-to-go packaging looks like.

Swap with Notpla.
7 simple swaps to Not-Pla your diet.

The conversation around microplastics is growing, and so is the need to rethink the materials surrounding our food.

Takeaway packaging.
Storage containers.
Water bottles.
Cooking utensils.

Most were designed for convenience, not long-term food contact.

At Notpla, we’ve spent years developing seaweed-based materials designed to replace traditional plastic in food packaging and foodservice.

Because the future shouldn’t rely on materials designed to last forever.

Simple swaps. Better materials. Less plastic touching food.

What’s one swap you’ve already made?

The Science of Coffee at the
07 MAY 2026

Last Thursday, we joined forces with , and the Science Museum Group in London for an evening exploring the future of a sustainable, bean-to-cup coffee movement through the lense of farming, flavour, sustainability and material innovation.
️
From Brazilian coffee farmers and ambassadors to experts across trade, packaging and materials, the conversation brought together the people rethinking one of the world’s most consumed products, from bean to cup.

Notpla CEO Pierre-Yves closed the evening by sharing the journey behind our Horizon Europe ‘No plasti-cups’ project: developing a new generation of naturally coated, plastic-free coffee cups designed to perform without leaving a lasting footprint.

More conversations like this are needed, bringing together science, industry and innovation to challenge the status quo and accelerate better solutions.

Huge thank you to the Science Museum Group for hosting such an inspiring evening, and to all the speakers, partners and guests who made it happen.

David Fein LVO, Lucas Garcez, Antonio Patriota & Rafaella Siqueira.

Happy 100th Birthday,
Sir David Attenborough 🌍

For generations, Sir David has shaped how the world sees nature and our responsibility to protect it.

His storytelling inspired millions and sparked a new wave of scientists, innovators and founders working to build better solutions for the planet. Including our team at Notpla.

It was a privilege to celebrate this milestone alongside the community, bringing together winners, innovators and contributors all inspired by the power of nature to change the future.

A beautiful tribute from Earthshot to the orginal champion of nature.

What a legacy.

👀 Can you spot our founders and our team in this tribute?

2025 was a year of real-world impact at scale.

As awareness grows around microplastics, plastic chemicals and waste, the materials we use every day are facing new scrutiny.

What was once developed in the lab is now being used at real scale.

41+ million all time single-use plastics replaced.
75 tonnes of plastic displaced.
450 tonnes CO₂e avoided.

Our 2025/26 Impact Report explores the partnerships, science and systems change bringing seaweed-based packaging into everyday use across stadiums, universities, retail and foodservice.

Because this is no longer just about replacing plastic.

It’s about redefining what packaging should be made from in the first place.

We’re hiring.

Notpla is growing, and we’re bringing new people into the team across materials, engineering, design and commercial.

These roles sit at the centre of how our products are developed, scaled and brought into real-world use. From advancing our seaweed-based materials, to refining how they run on existing machinery, to shaping how they’re presented and adopted by partners.

If you want to work on materials that replace single-use plastic at scale, and be part of making that work in practice, we’d love to hear from you.

Simple Swaps. Big Impact.

The conversation around microplastics is growing, and so is the need to rethink the materials we use every day.

At Notpla, we’ve always had one mission: to replace single-use plastic with natural, disappearing alternatives designed to leave no lasting impact on the environment or on human health.

Over the next few weeks, we’re spotlighting the swaps already happening across our materials, our partners, and the industries we work with.

Simple swaps.
Better materials.
Real impact.

Follow along as we explore what it means to .

Join the seaweed revolution.

London Marathon, you’ve made history once again.

Yesterday’s race will go down in the record books.
A huge congratulations to every runner who took on the challenge and to Sebastian Sawe for an extraordinary sub-two-hour finish (01:59:30).

Moments like this remind us what human endurance can achieve.

Back in 2019, we were proud to be part of that journey, offering Ooho as an alternative to plastic bottles along the course. A small shift with a big impact.

Today, we’re continuing that mission with our ooho technology optimised for rethinking energy gels, the next generation of sports nutrition, without the plastic waste.

Inside canteen: how plastic is being removed from the everyday sandwich box.

In workplace catering, packaging is rarely the focus. It sits in the background of a process built for speed. Food prepared quickly, placed on the shelf, picked up between meetings, and disposed of just as quickly.

But that background layer is where a significant amount of single-use plastic remains.

Across workplace catering, reducing single-use plastic is becoming part of day-to-day decision making.

At Arup, that shift is underway.

Working with , Notpla’s seaweed-based sandwich packaging has been introduced across the canteen, replacing plastic-lined formats with a material designed to behave in the same way, but with a different end of life.

The format remains familiar. The process stays intact.
But the material, and the outcome, changes.
