As part of its commitment to tackle the impact of takeaways on plastic pollution, U.K. food delivery company Just Eat has launched a trial of fully-compostable seaweed-based sauce sachets that decompose within four to six weeks.

In March 2018, Just Eat announced a package of measures to reduce excess plastics included in U.K. takeaway deliveries. One of the commitments it made was to work with key industry experts to invest in the research and development of innovative and practical alternatives for single-use plastics.

According to Just Eat, altogether, more than 11 billion plastic condiment sachets are sold globally. As part of its initiative, Just Eat has teamed up with sustainable packaging startup Skipping Rocks Lab to trial the use of its Ooho seaweed-based sauce sachets with restaurant partner The Fat Pizza, in Southend, England, for six weeks.
