We’re excited to share that Notpla has been shortlisted for two categories at the Footprint Awards 2026.

Innovations in Packaging Award
Sustainable Use of Natural Resources Award

The Footprint Awards celebrate the businesses, products and innovations helping drive positive change across the foodservice and hospitality industry.

Being recognised across both categories reflects the continued work of the Notpla team to develop packaging made from seaweed and plants, designed to replace single-use plastic through material innovation and natural alternatives.

We’re proud to see our work recognised alongside others helping shape the future of sustainable packaging.
