30 Nov 2022 --- Home-compostable packaging innovator Notpla has been selected as one of three finalists for the “Building a waste-free world” Earthshot award. This “Nobel-like prize for the environment” – led by the UK’s Prince William – is designed to incentivize, change and help repair the planet over ten years. The award recognizes the “outstanding contribution” of Notpla to “build a world where nothing goes to waste, where the leftovers of one process become the raw materials of the next, just like they do in nature.” Pierre-Yves Paslier, co-founder and co-CEO at Notpla, says: “Fourteen million metric tons of plastic enter our oceans yearly. We founded Notpla when we discovered the solution lies in our oceans too. We are already replacing plastic that plagues our seas and working with seaweed farms that give back to the environment and the local economy.”
