Can Morro Coating stand up to the test of a greasy cheesy toastie? Morro Coating is made from plants, completely plastic and PFAS free, fully biodegradable, and has truly excellent grease barrier properties with a Kit test of 12. As expected, our box performed exceptionally - no greasy leaks or spills. Thank you to our friends at Wildfarmed for sending our Digital Marketing Manager, Harriet Arushie Pope, their bread - both her (and her dogs) loved it! #PlasticFree #ChooseThePlanet

The terms 'compostable' and 'biodegradable' are often used interchangeably in product claims, however, this is simply not true and can lead to misinformation and greenwashing. We've highlighted some of the key differences between composting and biodegradation below ⬇ #Greenwashing #Compostability #Biodegradation

Can you spot the plastic? It's hard to see, but on most traditional takeaway boxes there's either plastic or PFAS (forever chemicals) coatings which cause damage to our planet. These traditional barrier coatings won't dispose easily and can stay polluting our environment for generations. Boxes with Morro Coating look and perform just as needed but with the power of nature hidden inside. Our coating is made from plants, so no matter where it ends up, it'll biodegrade naturally back into the environment. #ChooseThePlanet #PlasticFreePackaging #Biodegradable #PFASFree

How can we be REALLY certain that our Morro materials are plastic-free? With no widely accepted industry standard for #plasticfree, it can be tricky to understand what is #Greenwashing and what is a true claim. Xampla uses scientific data to prove our materials are plastic free as they're made from natural plant polymers with no chemical modification. Using IR spectroscopy, we’ve validated that the plant protein we use has no chemical alteration when used as Morro coating. Our samples were tested in the University of Cambridge and clearly show the complete alignment between raw materials and Morro materials. When you're using Morro materials, you can be assured you're choosing to go completely plastic-free.

Xampla were honoured to be invited to the Houses of Parliament for a reception hosted by Higginson Strategy and the Right Honourable Baroness Verma of Leicester. Our CEO, Alexandra French, and CTO, Marc Rodríguez Garcia, really enjoyed the event from a fantastic speech by Caroline Wheeler, political editor of The Sunday Times, through to connecting with many attendees including Sian Sutherland, co-founder of A Plastic Planet. What a magnificent venue to meet some of the great wavemakers in technology, sustainability, politics, and more!

There are some fairly iconic dishes that you might *serve* up this July, but if you really wanted to *ace* your pathway to sustainability, it's time to ditch those boxes coated with plastic or PFAS. Xampla's Morro Coating ensures that when boxes are recycled, it won't disrupt the recycling process and our coating will biodegrade naturally, no matter where it ends up. Strawberries and cream? A piece of cake for our coating! #ChooseThePlanet #PlasticFree #PlasticFreeJuly #PFASReplacement #BarrierCoatings
