19 Jun 2024 --- Huhtamaki and 2M Group of Companies are deploying Xampla’s plastic-free Morro Coating polymer to replace traditional barrier coatings in takeaway boxes. The deal is said to improve Huhtamaki’s use of alternative recyclable and compostable packaging solutions from renewable sources. Developed by deep-tech company Xampla, Morro Coating is an alternative to renewable and fossil-derived plastic coatings. Made from plant protein, the material is food-contact-safe and delivers good grease, water and oxygen barrier performance and heat-seal ability. Huhtamaki’s UK manufacturing facilities supply packaging solutions to quick-service restaurants, specialty coffees and catering brands. Xampla’s Morro Coating can be used on various substrates and tailored for use across food packaging applications.
