There’s always been takeaway and food delivery, but with current advances in web technology, services like Postmates, Deliveroo, and UberEats have made every food under the sun available to couch-bound consumers. And it has proven immensely popular, with some forecasting the market for such services to reach $200 billion by 2025.

The price of such convenience goes beyond delivery and service fees, as there’s also a hidden ecological cost, which includes the additional plastic needed to transport the food, in addition to requisite meal accouterments like utensils and condiments. Even plastic-free dishes made of materials that promise to be compostable can leech potential hazardous “forever chemicals” into the environment.

One of Europe’s largest food delivery services, Just Eat, is looking for new takeout container materials to mitigate the amount of plastic waste generated by their operations. That’s why they decided to partner with biodegradable packaging manufacturer Notpla to trial a fully biodegradable, seaweed-based takeaway container in London.
