Plastics have revolutionized modern life with their versatility and usefulness, but their overwhelming abundance has led to a mounting crisis. Plastic waste is everywhere: in the air we breathe, the ice on Mount Everest, the water we drink, the fish we eat, and even in human placentas. This pollution is not only devastating ecosystems but also harming our health. Adding to the problem, plastics are intrinsically tied to climate change, as most are derived from fossil fuels. In this episode, James and Daisy are joined by Aidan Charron from EARTHDAY.ORG to unpack the plastics problem. What exactly are plastics? Why are they so bad for the planet, and for us? What is the Plastics Treaty, and why does it matter?  SOME RECOMMENDATIONS:EARTHDAY.ORG – EARTHDAY.ORG's founders created and organized the very first Earth Day on April 22, 1970. Since then, Earth Day Network also known as EARTHDAY.ORG has been mobilizing over 1 billion people annually on Earth Day, and every other day, to protect the planet.Babies vs. Plastics Report – Evidence is mounting that plastics, microplastics and their additive chemicals pose potentially serious health risks to humans, with babies and infants being especially vulnerable.Pets vs. Plastics Report – This report is a meta-analysis of some of the available research to date studying the impact of plastics, microplastics and their additive chemicals on the health of our pets. Plastics Treaty – In March 2022, the United Nations Environment Programme instated an International Negotiating Committee (INC) tasked with creating a global, legally binding memorandum tackling the pressing problem of plastics pollution. OTHER ADVOCATES, FACTS, AND RESOURCES:Silent Spring by Rachel Carson – published on September 27, 1962, this book documented the environmental harm caused by the widespread use of pesticides and is recognizes as one of the most influential books of the twentieth century. SYSTEMIQ (2020) – “Breaking the Plastic Wave” is a global analysis using first-of-its kind modelling, showing that we can cut annual flows of plastic into the ocean by about 80% in the next 20 years by applying existing solutions and technologies. Ellen MacArthur Foundation – a charity committed to creating a circular economy, which is designed to eliminate waste and pollution, circulate products and materials (at their highest value), and regenerate nature.Notpla – advanced packaging solutions made from seaweed and other natural materials as an alternative to single-use plastic. The Blue Planet – a wildlife documentary series, presented and narrated by David Attenborough, exploring the planet's oceans.UNDP (2023) – “Scientists estimate that only around 9 percent of all the plastic waste generated globally is recycled.”EARTHDAY.ORG – “More than 500 billion plastic bags – one million bags per minute – were produced worldwide last year.” World Economic Forum (2022) – “Saying no to single-use plastics is the most common sustainable lifestyle change among UK consumers. More than 60% have reduced their use of throwaway plastics.”BBC (2019) – A cotton bag needs to be reused at least 131 times to make it more environmentally friendly than a plastic bag. Thank you for listening!

Harriet Lamb, the CEO of WRAP (the climate action NGO behind Love Food Hate Waste and Food Waste Action Week), strikes a positive note about tackling food waste and how so many people from different sectors are trying to tackle this seemingly intractable challenge.  In her chat with Ollie Lloyd, she talks about innovative businesses like Dizzie, which is creating reusable packaging for groceries, and Notpla, which is manufacturing single-use compostable sachets from seaweed (that the CEO will eat on stage to show how good they are)!  They discuss the positive benefits of personally getting involved by volunteering with charities like The Felix Project and apps like Olio. There is so clearly a community of people who have the time and will to go the extra mile to make an impact and lead from the front.  There is also a debate about how banana bread is better when made with blackened bananas and why moths are great as they encourage people to do visible mending, something Ollie has tried from time to time.

Note aux auditrices et auditeursPour ce 1er mai, nous rediffusons un épisode de notre série Sur la Terre consacré à la lutte contre la pollution plastique diffusé pour la première fois en février 2024.La quatrième et avant-dernière phase de négociations pour arriver à un traité mondial de lutte contre la pollution plastique s'est en effet conclue dans la nuit de lundi à mardi à Ottawa, au Canada, avec la perspective d'un accord d'ici la fin de l'année, mais sans plafond pour la production de polymères.Des représentants de 175 pays ont discuté d'un texte qui servira de base à ce futur traité international devant entrer en vigueur d'ici la fin 2024. Certains représentants se sont félicités des progrès effectués, notamment à propos de la formulation des mesures à prendre pour éliminer les déchets plastiques. Toutefois, un plafond proposé pour la production de plastique n'a pas trouvé place dans le projet de texte, et reste un point d'achoppement important.Le plastique est partout.

In recent years, the food industry has faced growing scrutiny over its environmental impact, particularly concerning the use of plastic packaging. This scrutiny has sparked significant interest and investment in alternative packaging solutions, with edible food packaging emerging as a particularly innovative and sustainable option. In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney talks about the rise of edible food packaging and the technologies and types of edible packaging available. The shift towards edible and biodegradable food packaging represents a proactive step in addressing environmental challenge, with companies like Foodberry, Notpla and Incredible Eats at the forefront of developing and commercializing edible food packaging solutions. The team discusses their favorite type of edible packaging and the implications of implementing it in the food supply chain.  Also in this episode, Sydney talks about a concerning chocolate shortage that threatens to cast a shadow over this year's Easter celebrations. For the past three years, the cocoa industry has grappled with underwhelming harvests, significantly driving up prices. These price hikes have put immense pressure on cocoa processors, critical in converting cocoa beans into cocoa butter and liquor for global chocolate production. In Ghana and Ivory Coast, which together account for 60 percent of the world's cocoa output, some processing plants are struggling to afford beans. This has led to reduced processing or complete halts in production. As the 2024 Easter season draws near, the chocolate shortage presents a complex challenge for both the industry and chocolate enthusiasts. The team wonders whether this shortage will subside or persist beyond the Easter season.  Read the full article here:  Edible Food Packaging: A Sustainable Solution to Plastic Waste: https://xtalks.com/edible-food-packaging-a-sustainable-solution-to-plastic-waste-3597/ Chocolate Shortage Looms Ahead of Easter 2024: https://xtalks.com/chocolate-shortage-looms-ahead-of-easter-2024-3766/ For more food and beverage industry content, visit the Xtalks Vitals homepage. https://xtalks.com/vitals/  Follow Us on Social Media Twitter: https://twitter.com/XtalksFood Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/xtalks/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Xtalks.Webinars/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/xtalks-webconferences YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/XtalksWebinars/featured

We all know that plastics have become a problem, but there's even more to it than the litter you see thrown on the ground. Dr. Roopa Krithivasan is the Director of Research for Defend Our Health, an environmental health and justice organization. They recently released a report titled Hidden Hazards: The Chemical Footprint of a Plastic Bottle which tracks the impact of plastic bottles on human health and climate change. Turns out, we can experience the hazards of our plastic use well before the items even end up in our homes- and afterward.HighlightsWhat's the untold story about plastics?What do we need to consider regarding our summer backyard activities?Why is recycling not the answer like we thought? What YOU Can DoLook for refillable options for the items that you buy. And use a refillable water bottle.Buy versions of items with minimal packaging (do you really need that cucumber that's wrapped in plastic?).Don't recycle canisters unless you fully rinse them out (ESPECIALLY bottles that contain chemicals or detergents).Use laundry sheets instead of bottles of detergent (less plastic use).Buy secondhand (to avoid having raw plastic needing to be made).Call out companies on social media.Write letters or sign petitions to companies and governments about reducing single-use plastics and plastic contamination.ResourcesSign Defend Our Health's petition asking Coca-Cola to clean up its plastic.Defend Our Health's websiteLearn about plastic alternative, Notpla, with this episode of The Healthy Seas Podcast (Crystal is the host of that show too!)In the show's outro, I mentioned my Action for Climate education program. If you know of a school who may want to empower its students with actions that experts are saying are the most impactful at reducing our carbon footprints, then let's connect!*Since the taping of this episode, Dr. Roopa Krithivasan is no longer the Director of Research for Defend Our Health.Join me this April by registering at EarthX.org!Want a free guide to help you become a force for nature?

Toute cette semaine, Aujourd'hui l'économie met en avant cinq entreprises dont les initiatives contribuent à verdir leur secteur d'activité. Pour le quatrième épisode, RFI met le cap sur Londres, où l'entreprise Notpla développe des alternatives au plastique à base d'algues, avec l'objectif de limiter l'empreinte écologique des emballages. Une start-up qui, en 2022, avait reçu le soutien d'une personnalité de marque : le prince William de Galles. À l'entrée des bureaux londoniens de Notpla, des couverts, des films d'emballage, des pipettes… L'ingrédient commun : les algues. Pierre Paslier a co-fondé Notpla il y a une dizaine d'années : « Par exemple, ici, on a un sachet de pâtes, et l'idée, c'est qu'on puisse jeter l'intégralité du sachet dans l'eau bouillante, et le sachet disparaît dans l'eau bouillante. On a développé un papier à base d'algues. On a plein de marques de cosmétiques qui sont très preneuses de ce genre de solutions. »Un emballage alimentaire recyclableAprès un début de carrière chez L'Oréal, l'ingénieur emballage décide de lutter contre la pollution plastique : « Le mieux, c'est de pouvoir recycler nos emballages. Si on perd de vue notre packaging parce qu'il est consommé dans un festival ou dans la nature, un pique-nique, on est certain qu'on ne créera jamais un problème pour des centaines d'années comme le plastique aujourd'hui. »Si aujourd'hui, l'entreprise et sa soixantaine d'employés produit toutes sortes de contenants, le premier succès de NotPla, c'est un revêtement imperméable pour la livraison à domicile, la restauration rapide : « Ça, c'est une boîte pour JustEat, la plateforme de repas à domicile, qui est maintenant utilisée par tous ses partenaires en Europe. L'avantage, c'est d'avoir un mélange de carton naturel, sur lequel on vient appliquer notre vernis à base d'algues qui lui donne la résistance à la nourriture et aux graisses, qui le rend complètement biodégradable. »Un soutien de marqueEn 2022, Notpla reçoit le Earthshot Prize, une récompense décernée aux initiatives environnementales à travers le monde et dont l'ambassadeur n'est autre que le prince William, le fils du roi Charles III. À la clé, un million de livres sterling : « Ce qui a été vraiment incroyable, c'est le coup de tampon, la crédibilité qui est donnée par un prix comme ça. On l'a vu notamment avec nos partenaires industriels. Souvent, c'est quand même un peu compliqué d'arriver à les convaincre de nous donner accès à leurs grosses lignes de production, qui coûtent des dizaines de millions de livres sterling... C'est vraiment un coup d'accélération qu'on ne peut pas imaginer, pour atteindre notre objectif de remplacer énormément de plastiques. »En 2023, près de cinq millions de boîtes biodégradables ont été produites. Et grâce au prince William, le marché britannique pourrait s'étendre aux fans de foot : « Le prince est aussi président de la Football Association et a énormément de chances de parler à des gens qui gèrent les stades. Il se trouve qu'on a pu commencer à faire des essais avec quelques stades en Angleterre qui ont été concluants. Aujourd'hui, ce qui est super, c'est qu'on est capable maintenant de passer à une échelle où, potentiellement, on peut avoir notre solution utilisée par des dizaines de stades en Angleterre. »Notpla espère maintenant se lancer sur les marchés nord-américain et sud-asiatique, les plus gros producteurs de déchets plastiques.

From bottles and bags, to less obvious sources like teabags and clothes - plastic pollution is any plastic that ends up in the environment.  With the global call to fight climate change growing louder, innovators are hard at work to develop solutions that can make plastic disappear.  On this episode of Climate Connections: The Earthshot Prize 2022 winner, Rodrigo García González, Co-Founder & Co-CEO, Notpla takes us behind-the-scenes of his company's seaweed-based invention that naturally decomposes in weeks, compared to 700 years for plastic. Associate Professor Soo Han Sen from the NTU School of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology shares how his team developed a method to upcycle plastics into liquids that can store hydrogen.

INTRODUCTIONIf you have been in contact with single-use plastic items, and even use some of them along your value chain, this episode is for you!Today's textbook case is none other than the single-use plastic legislation! Boring? Not at all if you sharpen your pencils well, now that the schools go back after summer. Let's come back together with sensitive rules and critical thinking to be able to read between the lines!How will we do that in this episode? Be ready to learn,first, about the important role of legislation countering the inaction triangle,secondly, about the worldwide context of this single-use plastic legislation,and finally, about the 3 reasons why you shouldn't make single-use plastic bans your new hobby horse… with a Canadian regulation as an exemplifying case study. The 3 points are:What are we talking about?Where does it happen?What if we shift the conversation to solutions?The ice on the cake? As a revision sheet, you will have some past referral episodes and a promo code for our “Develop Circular Packaging Solutions” online training… that might be helpful to set off decision processes to address those kinds of legislation and take the lead! LINKS TO RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODEWe invite you to (re)listen to other episodes among others.

Hello Royal Community,  In the Royal news this week, we are talking all about Prince William surprising us all by serving ‘The Earth Shot Burger' from a burger van at a Sorted Foods Event.  The video that was posted on the British Royal Family social media channels showed Prince William meeting the presenters of Sorted Food, and featuring on their youtube channel.  The Sorted Foods team were tasked with creating 'The Earthshot Burger' from three items of the winners from The Earthshot Prize 2023 including Kheyti's Greenhouse-in-a-box Mukuru Clean Stoves, and Notpla.   So, what did you think of Prince Williams' collaboration with Sorted Foods? Contact us and let us know. Don't forget to rate and review the podcast too!   

Highlights:Innovation in Experimentation: The birth of NotplaThe concept was born out of a challenge that Pierre and his business partner, Rodrigo Garcia Gonzalez, encountered during their Masters studies in Innovation Design Engineering at Imperial College London. The innovation was discovered by chance, through trying to create a man-made fruit. The result was a revolutionary idea - a startup committed to providing sustainable packaging alternatives to combat the growing problem of plastic waste. They called this venture Notpla, a name that signifies their core mission: to provide an alternative to plastic. Their first product, Ooho, is an edible water pod made of seaweed extract.It was a creative and efficient solution to tackle the pervasive problem of plastic pollution at marathons and other large-scale events. Over time, this dynamic duo expanded their product range to cater to various needs within the food and beverage industry. One of their most notable products has been the development of linings for takeaway boxes that are biodegradable and more environmentally friendly than traditional options.Navigating the High Seas: Challenges and BreakthroughsLike any pioneering venture, Notpla's journey has been filled with challenges and learning opportunities. The early days were marked by the painstaking process of not just creating a viable product, but also one that complied with health and safety standards, was scalable, and was economically sustainable.Moreover, as Paslier points out during our conversation, the food industry is traditionally slow-moving and resistant to change. This has required a significant amount of patience and perseverance from the Notpla team. They've had to convince stakeholders of the feasibility and benefits of their products, a task that's not always easy in an industry that's accustomed to its conventional ways.One of the significant breakthroughs for Notpla came when they were listed by BidFood, one of the UK's biggest distributors. This was a game-changer, as it provided Notpla with access to a vast network of 45,000 food service restaurants. However, getting listed was no walk in the park. It required Notpla to prove their capacity to deliver at scale, and they also had to meet a host of industry-standard accreditations, a process that took years.Pearls of Wisdom for Aspiring Environmental EntrepreneursFor those looking to follow in his footsteps and tackle environmental issues, Pierre offers some insightful advice. First and foremost, he emphasizes the importance of creating a team that is driven by purpose. As he explains, the number of people who want to work on something with a strong purpose is already substantial, but this figure is growing all the time.This means that even if you're unable to offer competitive salaries or traditional job titles, you can still attract top-tier talent if your mission is compelling and meaningful. Secondly, Pierre encourages entrepreneurs to be aware of the changing global landscape. As he points out, more and more people want to work with companies that have a strong mission and are making a positive impact on the world. This societal shift opens up thrilling opportunities for purpose-led startups, offering them a competitive advantage in the increasingly conscious business world.How You Can Support Notpla and Their Future PlansIn wrapping up the interview, Pierre appeals to listeners to show their support for Notpla's mission. For consumers, he suggests a simple yet effective way to help: by tagging their favorite takeaway food providers on Instagram and proposing they consider more sustainable packaging options like Notpla's. This is a powerful method for increasing awareness and demand for more environmentally-friendly solutions in the food industry.For investors looking for an opportunity to contribute to environmental sustainability while also investing in a promising company, Notpla is currently preparing for their Series B funding round. This presents a golden opportunity to become a part of Notpla's journey as they continue to innovate and expand their footprint in the sustainable packaging sector.Pierre also sheds some light on the future plans for Notpla. While he doesn't reveal all the details, he does hint at new products in the pipeline that could further revolutionize the food and beverage industry. It's clear that Notpla will continue to push the boundaries of what's possible in the world of sustainable packaging.Final ThoughtsPierre's journey with Notpla serves as an inspiring testament to how innovative thinking, steadfast dedication, and a strong purpose can lead to game-changing solutions in the fight against environmental degradation. The insights he shares during our conversation provide valuable guidance for anyone looking to make their own impact in this critical field.This conversation serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of sustainable innovation and the role each of us can play in supporting such initiatives. As consumers, industry leaders, or potential investors, we all have a part to play in shaping a more sustainable future. Notpla's work is a shining example of the possibilities that lie ahead when we dare to think differently and commit to protecting our planet.Find Pierre on:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/pierrepaslierTwitter: @notplaFind Ben on:Sesamers: smrs.link/BenCostantiniTwitter: @bencostantini

Did you know that it could take up to 500 years for single-use plastic bottles to biodegrade in the ocean, according to estimates from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration?What if the solution for more sustainable packaging also lies in the seas? Bloomberg Philanthropies is working to ensure the ocean, key marine ecosystems, and the billions who depend on them can survive and thrive through the Bloomberg Ocean Initiative.  Our guest today – Pierre Paslier – co-founded Notpla, short for "not plastic," a company on a mission to make packaging disappear. Based in London, the team creates alternative packaging made from seaweed and plants, ranging from a bubble that could replace plastic cups and bottles at sporting events, to single dose spheres of toothpaste and sustainable, biodegradable packaging for takeaway food. Since it started in 2019, Notpla has replaced almost 3 million units of single-use plastic from entering the environment.Notpla is a winner of the 2022 Earthshot Prize, a prestigious global environment prize launched by His Royal Highness Prince William to incentivize change and help repair our planet with innovative solutions by 2030. Our founder, Mike Bloomberg, serves as Global Advisor to the Winners of the Earthshot Prize, including Notpla, and Bloomberg Philanthropies - alongside Bloomberg LP - has supported The Earthshot Prize since its creation in 2019, as a Global Alliance Founding Partner. In fact, Bloomberg LP uses Notpla's sustainable packaging at its European headquarters in London.On this episode, Katherine Oliver sits down with Pierre. They discuss how he created Notpla with his co-founder and former classmate, Rodrigo Garcia Gonzalez, how Notpla expanded from its first product to introduce packaging solutions for electronics, fashion, cosmetics and food, his experience with The Earthshot Prize, and how he's planning on using his prize money to expand Notpla's impact.

Did you know about the correlation between declining smoking rates and increasing hummus consumption? It's true—a decade ago, as American smoking rates were falling, hummus consumption began ascending, leading numerous tobacco growers to convert their fields to chickpea production instead.  Hummus is also a favorite of those seeking to eat plant-based while still getting a satiating snack or meal. In fact, in the Middle East, the birthplace of hummus, it's not eaten as a dip like it is here in America, but rather hummus itself is the bulk of the meal, enjoyed literally by the bowlful as I've personally witnessed—and enjoyed—while in Israel.  Some people even think that hummus may be among the key ways to unite the Middle East, where various cultures have been enjoying hummus for thousands of years. But one place where hummus hasn't been enjoyed for millenia: North America. But one Israeli company set out to change that, Sabra, which has caused an explosion of interest in hummus since it entered the market, especially since the company sold half of its shares to Pepsi. Since then, Sabra has rapidly accelerated hummus' popularity here in America.  Today, Sabra sells hundreds of millions of dollars of tubs of hummus and is by far the largest player in the sector. In this interview, we chat with Sabra CEO Joey Bergstein about all things hummus, including why he thinks hummus is such a force for good in the world—including why chickpeas are the OG of regenerative crops—and how Sabra can do even better.  Discussed in this episode The switch from tobacco growing to chickpea growing. NuCicer, a cool startup breeding a higher protein chickpea. Joey recommends listening to Revisionist History podcast. Long before Joey was CEO, in 2014 Sabra petitioned FDA for a standard of identity for hummus, something about which Joey says in this interview the company is no longer concerned. TODAY Show ranking of 10 hummus brands, with Sabra ranking #1. Some past episodes of ours on plastic include Footprint, Radical Plastic, AMP Robotics, Plastic Bank, Notpla, and Outlander Materials. The myth of plastic recycling, via NPR. More about Joey Bergstein Joey Bergstein joined Sabra in August 2021 as President and Chief Executive Officer. He and the Sabra team are on a quest to unit and delight the world around planet positive food. Prior to joining Sabra, Bergstein led Seventh Generation as Chief Executive Officer since 2017 following successive leadership roles since he joined in 2011. Together with his team, he transformed the business through sustainability-driven product innovation, advocacy-led marketing, and deep partnership with retailers.

Touted as the "Nobel Prize for environmentalism", the Earthshot Prize aims to find new solutions to the world's biggest environmental problems by 2030. It is divided into five categories, one being "Build a Waste-Free World." Last year, Notpla had the honor of winning the prize in this category. Their mission is to replace single-use plastic packaging through their innovative invention based on seaweed. Samara Croci is the Senior Brand Partnership Manager with Notpla and she tells us about how this naturally biodegradable product works, how it is different than bioplastics, and the impact they are looking to achieve with the prize money. Also, with the growth potential of this product, we talk about how they are working on avoiding the potential negative consequences that come with scaled-up seaweed farming.  Healthy Seas is proud to be an Official Nominator of the Earthshot Prize.

INTRODUCTION Are you wondering how to couple a sustainable packaging design with a memorable user experience?  With Evelio Mattos, a well-recognized structural designer, you will have a good overview of the ins and outs of packaging concept development.We navigated the conversation from very visible branding to behind the scene systems. Yes, huge ripple effects can happen through packaging in the spotlight (with big brands and the luxury industry), as well as through the tremendous impact of tertiary packaging! I liked how Evelio brought packaging design to highlight how much packaging impact happens before, during, and after the product gets to consumers! Of course, you will hear a lot of examples from Evelio's experience but from his interviewees too because Evelio Mattos is also the host of the Packaging Unboxd podcast. I encourage you to unbox even more packaging designs by following him.   MULTIPLE RESOURCES AND PROJECTS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE The previous episodes mentioned in our conversation from the Packaging Unboxd podcast:McDonald's Packaging Redesign with Pearlfisher | Ep 42 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mcdonalds-packaging-redesign-with-pearlfisher-ep-42/id1511993897?i=1000512519160 with Matt Sia, Creative Director at Pearlfisherhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/packaging-designer-for-burberry-dunhill-and-givenchy/id1511993897?i=1000474206204 Packaging Designer for Burberry, Dunhill, and Givenchy - What is Luxury Packaging | Ep. 2 with Vincent Villéger, former Director of Packaging at Burberry: Evelio suggested to follow him on LinkedIn as well: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vincentvilleger/How Design Innovative Packaging - Black Ink Projects Designing the Adidas x Mr. Bailey Shoe Box  | Ep 104, with the video to watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io_B2EXWzr4What is Sustainable Packaging Design? with Tom Szaky | Ep. 5: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/what-is-sustainable-packaging-design-w-tom-szaky-ep-5/id1511993897?i=1000475175378 The previous episodes mentioned in our conversation from our Unboxing Your Packaging podcast:Episode #20: How to grow your compostable packaging?

INTRODUCTION What if I told you that seaweed offers a lot of innovative and untapped opportunities for your packaging, our planet, and its people?  That's what the company Notpla has explored with success with their all compostable and seaweed-based packaging portfolio such as edible bubble of water, oil, or juice, as well as paper boxes, food sachets, and films.  In this episode, I had the pleasure to interview Sébastien Bregeaud, the director of manufacturing at Notpla. He has worked for many years in packaging and sustainability with big brands.

we've spoken to plastic alternative innovators on this podcast before. Wouldn't it be great if there was a lovely space online to showcase these innovations - heck maybe even with an award? BEYONDPLASTIC is the brainchild of Ulrich Krzyminski, an entrepreneur, engineer & inventor with a particular insight into the printing and packaging industry. As well as showcasing plastic alternatives, they have the Beyond Plastic Awards with categories like Most Practical Impact', ‘Most Innovative Approach', and  ‘Most Beautiful Solution'. And not only that, they've put all the innovations and solutions they discovered into a beautiful book!Talking to me from his home in Frankfurt Germany here's Beyond Plastic Founder Ulrich Krzyminskihttps://beyondplastic.net/LISTEN: Plastic wrap that's edible and made from seaweed (that's Notpla) https://podfollow.com/age-of-plastic/episode/48cb0fce573dd9733a016260a94f172dd5c20136/viewLISTEN:  Plastic alternative made from a polymer created by tiny ocean bugs (Newlight Technologies Aircarbon) https://podfollow.com/age-of-plastic/episode/22770c30b7dc3a8d9ed66cc3caa41014a8fb32ed/viewREAD: How I'm Managing Guilt Every Time I Throw Things Awayhttps://www.thegoodtrade.com/features/decluttering-guilt?utm_source=The+Daily+Good&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=readGET IN TOUCH!https://www.instagram.com/ageofplasticpodcast/https://twitter.com/andrea_foxhttps://www.iamandreafox.co.uk/https://www.facebook.com/ageofplasticpodcast

Is plastic packaging evil? Is it killing sea-life, reducing sperm counts of men globally, decimating bird populations, or is it a misunderstood miracle material? In the Package Design Unboxd Q&A Clubhouse room, Chris DeArmitt Plastic Scientist and author of A Plastic Paradox joined Pierre Paslier CEO and co-founder of NOTPla to debate plastic packaging. Regardless of which side of the aisle you sit on, you need to listen to this episode. The goal of this episode is to share points on both sides that expose the debate brands are afraid to have because they don't know who to believe. WARNING: Recording quality is crap. I'm sorry.

On ne jette rien : tout se transforme cette semaine dans Tech 24. Les algues remplacent le plastique dans les emballage avec Notpla. La start-up veut vous faire manger vos bouteilles d'eau et oublier les packaging polluants. Une autre entreprise innovante, Lactips, utilise les protéines du lait pour inventer le matériau biodégradable du futur. 

日本におけるプラスチック容器の廃棄量は、アメリカに次ぐ世界第二位。1人当たり、年間32キロに上ります。プラスチックは自然界に一度流出すると、その後半永久的に漂ってしまいます。海洋生物などにとって有害なのはもちろんのこと、それは姿形を変えて、私たち人間の口にも入っていることでしょう。そうしたプラスチックによる負荷を減らすべく、今世界中でプラスチックを置き換える「代替素材」の開発が大きく進歩しています。プラスチックを置き換える素材とは、なにが考えられるでしょうか（出演：岡徳之 / リサーチ：西崎こずえ / 写真：Notpla on Twitter）。

What would it take to reinvent plastic? Ambition, a highly creative and skilled team, and the guts to go for it. It's news to no one that we have a plastic problem. It's used for everything, but its end-of-life process is one we would rather not think about. However, turning a blind eye to the issues that it's causing has not worked, nor will it. What needs to happen is a reinvention of both plastic and our mindset on how to use it. Thankfully, companies like Notpla are way ahead of us, already able to provide a solution for single-use items that are used quickly and discarded just as fast. With us this week to help breakdown our current reality as well as the positive steps being taken to alter the course of our future is Pierre Paslier, Co-founder and Co-CEO of Notpla. Join us as we talk about why plastic is a go-to product, what mindset shifts need to occur, and how their disappearing packaging is setting a precedent for what the future will look like.
