FOOTIE fans are being served pies and burgers in packaging made from seaweed \u2014 thanks to Prince William.<\/p>\n
His team, Aston Villa, are trialling the boxes by Notpla, which won \u00a31million in Earthshot Prize funding last year.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The cartons were also used at all European footie finals last season.<\/p>\n
Notpla\u2019s co-CEO Pierre Paslier said of Wills: \u201cHe saw the potential at Villa Park and helped to make the deal happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cIt is very helpful that he is President of the Football Association because it turns out stadiums use a lot of this type of packaging.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter getting introduced to football clubs and stadiums direct from the prince, we were able to build relationships with catering companies that offer packing and now expand to up to tens of stadiums.\u201d<\/p>\n
