## About Notpla

Notpla is a London-based sustainable packaging startup founded in 2014 by Rodrigo García González and Pierre Paslier.

The company focuses on eliminating single-use plastic pollution by creating biodegradable packaging materials made from seaweed and plants. Notpla's mission is to provide "drop-in" replacements for plastic packaging that are natural, home-compostable, and in some cases, edible. The company offers a range of innovative products, including Ooho, an edible liquid packaging solution; biodegradable coatings for food containers; seaweed paper for cosmetics and fashion; dissolvable films for textiles; and compostable takeaway food containers. Notpla's solutions are designed to fit seamlessly into existing manufacturing processes, promoting a plastic-free circular economy. As a Certified B Corporation and a winner of the Earthshot Prize in 2022, Notpla is committed to sustainability and has already replaced millions of single-use plastic items in various industries.
