Join this webinar to hear from the founders of two start-ups developing game-changing materials

Join this Retail & Consumer Brands Forum to hear from the founders of two start-ups developing game-changing materials. Pierre Paslier, Co-founder of Notpla, and Carmen Hijosa, Founder of Ananas Anam, will highlight how their solutions are sustainable alternatives to commonly used materials. Our speakers will discuss how retailers and consumer brands can embrace these innovative materials and start using them.

- Notpla is a material made from seaweed and plants which biodegrades in weeks, naturally. It is used to make packaging solutions, including Ooho, a flexible and edible packaging for beverages and sauces, which is so far used in sporting events and in the take-away industry.
