Morro™ materials, our first commercial line, is Xampla’s world-first, plastic-free, SUPD-exempt solution for eliminating the most polluting plastics. Morro materials offer high-performance plastic-free alternatives for every-day products, such as takeaway boxes. They are made from plants with no chemical modification and are fully biodegradable in all environments, home compostable, and fully compatible with recycling processes.
Our Morro Coating is already in market with leading packaging manufacturers, distributors and consumer brands, offering high-performance properties that are comparable with plastics – grease barrier, water barrier, and heat sealable – with no chemical modification.
Why is exhibiting at lunch! an unmissable opportunity for you?
We have just secured $14 million of new investment which will accelerate our mission to replace 10 billion units of single-use plastics. We already have partnerships with big names such as 2M Group of Companies, Huhtamaki and Transcend Packaging, helping us replace polluting coatings on boxes used by food delivery giant Just Eat Takeaway and Bunzl Catering Supplies.
lunch! gives us the opportunity to deepen these partnerships while building new ones, helping us achieve our goal of removing single-use plastics from packaging.
