Help make plastic a thing of the past in your office

Company Update

We're often asked by people - eager to play their part in restoring the planet - "how can I help?"

Well, one simple thing that lots of people can do to play their part is to make the right introductions. We'd love it if you could introduce Notpla to someone in your office - hopefully leading to us having a conversation with them about switching to our plastic-free packaging. Not only would you be helping to make a real change, but you could also win a free lunch.

Sustainable solutions in your workplace 

At Notpla, we’re passionate about making packaging disappear naturally - targeting many of those everyday moments when single-use plastic is present. Lots of us use takeaway food containers, often for our lunches in the office. The vast majority of these containers are - unfortunately - coated with a thin, invisible layer of plastic or chemicals. So, we developed a solution! Our seaweed-based coating is a 100% natural alternative to those problem materials used in traditional takeaway food containers, resulting in a sustainable, plastic-free alternative that won’t harm the planet.

At Notpla we want to help your office become even more sustainable with our natural solutions which can reduce waste, and improve environmental impact without compromising on convenience for you and your colleagues.

Here's how you can help (and win a free lunch!)

  1. Introduce Notpla to your team. We've prepared a short message below you can copy & paste, explaining why you'd love to see Notpla in your office. Feel free to write your own message, if you'd prefer.
  2. Send it to whoever's responsible for catering and/or sustainability in your office. This might be a Catering Manager, someone in the Sustainability team or in Office Services.
  3. If your introduction leads to us having a meeting with your company, you’ll receive a £25 food delivery voucher as a thank you. 
  4. Don't forget to ask them to mention your name when they get in touch.

Referral message

Hi _____,

I’m [name], and I work in the [team/department name]. I was getting in touch to see if you’d come across an exciting sustainable packaging solution that I think could be a great fit for our office’s catering needs - Notpla.

Notpla has developed a unique, seaweed-based technology to replace traditional single-use plastics used in takeaway food containers. They’ve already made a big environmental impact, replacing over 16 million pieces of plastic to date and even won Prince William’s prestigious Earthshot Prize. Here's some more info on their packaging.

Given our company’s commitment to sustainability, I think adopting Notpla’s solution could be a fantastic way to play our part in reducing environmental impact. I'd be grateful if you could take a look and perhaps get in touch with Notpla. They can be contacted here: customerservice@notpla.com

Thanks for considering this introduction.
