Levy Celebrates Landmark Sustainability Partnership with Earthshot Prize Winner
An expected 75 million items of Notpla's seaweed-based, biodegradable food packaging will be used by Levy over the next three years.
Notpla’s range of Earthshot Prize Winning takeaway packaging will now feature across some of the world’s most prestigious sports and entertainment venues including; The Kia Oval – home of Surrey County Cricket Club; Aston Villa Football Club; Twickenham Stadium – the official home of England Rugby; and Dublin’s Aviva Stadium.
Notpla seaweed-coated food containers
The UK startup uses seaweed - one of nature's most abundant and fastest growing resources - to replicate the qualities of plastics, replacing millions of items of single-use plastic packaging. Once finished, the whole package can be composted and disappears without a trace—just like a fruit peel.
Having developed and brought its solution to the market in 2019, the rise of Notpla’s seaweed-coated food packaging from tens of thousands of units, to now producing tens of millions shows unique and much-needed scale in the production of plastic-alternatives.
Crucially for Levy sites, Notpla has been able to validate the positive environmental impact of their seaweed-based packaging. Life cycle analysis showed an impressive 70% potential CO2e reduction over the conventional packaging previously used, offering the Levy-catered stadiums, racecourses, arenas and event spaces an immediate reduction in their site’s impact on the environment.
