06 Nov 2023 --- UK-based Notpla, which produces plastic alternative F&B, household and cosmetics packaging from seaweed, has been recognized by the Dutch government as the first and only completely plastic-free packaging in the Netherlands. The company’s material is also the first to be confirmed as such by any European state following the introduction of the EU Single Use Plastics Directive (SUPD) in 2021. Following the announcement, Notpla has signed an agreement with Dutch packager Conpax to distribute F&B packaging throughout the Benelux region.
