Xampla

One cappuccino please - hold the packaging waste! Anyone surprised how some of the simplest tasks, like making your morning coffee, produces so much packaging waste? Xampla's Morro Edible Film takes away the waste. It simply dissolves away and because its made from plants, it's good enough to eat!

Our Head of Business Development, Stanley Mitchell, takes Morro to Tokyo! Stanley recently attended #TokyoPack2024 to catch up with some of our partners and to see new innovation in the world of paper packaging from companies including PulPac and Tokusha Tokai Paper. Tokyo Pack also delivered some great insights with their seminar programme, including an excellent talk by Nerida Kelton FAIP from the WPO World Packaging Organisation.

Is your paper packaging actually recyclable? We’re excited to announce that paper with Morro Coating has been certified as fully recyclable and has even been awarded ‘Best in Class’ for fibre recovery and repulpabilty. Morro Coating was put to the test by DS Smith using the Recycling Evaluation Protocol developed by 4evergreen alliance. Crucially, this testing focuses on standard recycling mills, making it easier than ever for your customers to #ChooseThePlanet and helps the paper have a new lease life after use.

Can you spot the plastic? It might be tricky to see but greaseproof paper typically has a silicone coating, which makes it non-stick and also non-recyclable. Xampla's Morro Coating is the perfect planet-friendly alternative: it has excellent grease barrier properties, is fully biodegradable, recyclable, and is completely plastic-free. From coated paper to foodservice packaging, our Morro materials make it easy to #ChooseThePlanet. 

Xampla is excited to announce that our licence partner, 2M Group of Companies, has signed a multi-year commercial agreement to supply Transcend Packaging Ltd. with our plastic-free Morro™ Coating. Morro Coating will be used on Transcend's selected paper board applications, providing an inexpensive, high-strength grease barrier, ideal for Quick-Serve Restaurant applications. Channing Nuss, Director of Corporate Affairs at Transcend Packaging Ltd. says “Transcend is adopting cutting-edge technologies such as Xampla’s Morro Coating to bring new innovations to market to help our clients achieve their sustainability goals.” This new partnership highlights the rapid scale-up of Morro Coating and we’re excited to see more of our plastic-free materials in market! #ChooseThePlanet #PlasticFreePackaging #BiodegradablePackaging

A very exciting moment to see Xampla mentioned in The Sunday Times Magazine. Alexandra French and I recently spoke to Giulia Crouch to talk about Xampla's Morro materials. Using the power of natural plant polymers, our materials eliminate the need for synthetic and polluting chemicals such as PFAS across a variety of industries and applications, particularly its usage in packaging as a barrier coating. Giuila's article highlights the prevalence of PFAS in our everyday products, which might have you re-evaluating your kitchen cupboards - a very insightful read. Thank you Giulia for including Xampla in your article!

How do we create materials that can change the world? With the power of plants! Our breakthrough technology is material agnostic. We can tailor functionality based on feedstock, improve circularity by utilising leftover plant protein, and ensure we don't exhaust the world's natural resources. We have tested a range of different plant proteins to make our Morro materials, including peas, potatoes, rapeseed, borage and more. We choose plants, to help you #ChooseThePlanet.

Give your consumers the nutrients you're promising without the overage! Xampla's nutrient microencapsulation technology protects vitamins, botanicals, and other active ingredients to minimise degradation and improve shelf life. Our technology has proven stability after pasteurisation at a range of times and temperatures providing even more options to support a range of beverages and their health and nutrition claims.
