Notpla Edible Water Package

The future of water

Notpla’s Co-Founders Rodrigo Garcia Gonzalez and Pierre Paslier developed an edible water bubble prototype at London’s Imperial College in 2013.

In the beginning, they made each one by hand in their student kitchen, continuously testing new formulations to see if their idea had any chance of success, all the while gauging responses from friends, family and anyone else who was willing. The name Ooho was quickly born from the unanimous reaction of people’s experience of these edible liquid balls – “Oohooo!”.

Fast-forward to today and Ooho is recognised the world over as a game changing experience for everyone who tries it.
Notpla Saeweed forever

Seaweed forever

There are forests below the sea that are very dear to us. Seaweed grows quickly, and needs no freshwater, land or fertiliser. It captures carbon and makes the surrounding waters less acidic.

Beyond this, seaweed is abundantly available and has near-magical material properties. In the quest to heal our ecosystems and food chains from the toxic waste of plastic packaging, it is the perfect companion species and an integral partner to our solutions.
 
Seaweed food containers are carefully engineered to eliminate waste and make the planet a healthier place. Where conventional containers have petrol-based coatings that stick around forever, these have a 100% natural seaweed coating. Once finished, the whole package can be composted and disappears without a trace— just like a fruit peel.
 

Convenience doesn’t have
to cost the world

Notpla Creations

Notpla’s collection includes true solutions for packaging foods, drinks, care products, and many other items you use every day. While some are edible, some compostable, and some dissolve in water — they all disappear back into nature without any harmful traces.

 

Notpla is a family of regenerative packaging materials, made from seaweed and plants. Behind these products is a company of the same name, deeply committed to making the planet a healthier place.

Notpla’s core team is an assembly of interdisciplinary experts in material science, engineering, biology, bio-design and business services. But Notpla is not alone: Directly supported by their impact-driven investors and advisors, they are embedded in a larger ecosystem of sustainability-minded companies, anti-plastic policymakers, climate initiatives, lifestyle influencers and consumers that care –

possibly including yourself.
