Xampla Launches New Brand for Plant-based Alternative to Plastic
Cambridge-based Xampla launched their consumer-facing brand Morro which creates plant-based alternatives to plastic. Xampla described it as the first product that is used for plastic-free seed coating. It is the 'first plant protein material for commercial use in the world'.
It is also a bio-based material that is made from Supramolecular Engineered Protine (SEP) which is derived from plants and does not include the chemical additions that traditional plastic alternatives made from plant polysaccharides do. In addition to this, according to the research report of Astute Analytica the global Bioplastics Market is growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6% during the forecast period 2023-2030.
The items that are made of Morro will feature the 'Morro marque'. It will also indicate that item that is biodegradable, capable of breaking down with food waste, and plastic-free. Morro materials are also known for being home-compostable and don't need industrial composting to break down.
According to the 15 years of research at the University of Cambridge by Xampla, the materials can be edible and soluble depending on their requirements. This means they can also be used in applications where the whole product is either eaten or cooked together.?
In addition, Morro materials can collect items like nutrients and vitamins that are within liquids that protect them from ultraviolet rays (UV), changes in pH balance, and pasteurization. Morro Soluble and Morro Edible Film can also be disposed of alongside food waste. While the other products are biodegraded completely in all different end-of-life scenarios.
According to the Executive Chair at Xampla, Pete Hutton said that 'Morro will allow brands to make an easy switch away from single-use plastics, and their breakthrough material that can do things which plastic can never'.
