17 Dec 2021 --- Seaweed-based packaging manufacturer Notpla has landed £10 million (US$13.3 million) in series A round funding. The UK-based start-up will use the investments to commercialize its flagship product “Ooho” – an edible, biodegradable packaging solution made of algae. A portfolio of films, coatings, sachets, pipettes and paper products is also set to hit the market. The company founders say the funding will be a rapid accelerator for international ambitions to rid the world of single-use packaging and plastic pollution.
