Product description
Morro Coating Material is a revolutionary plant protein-based polymer designed to address the pressing issue of single-use plastic coatings in various packaging materials. This innovative material offers a sustainable alternative to traditional plastics, ensuring that products like paper wrap, sachets, and cups can be coated with a biodegradable solution.
Developed through extensive research at Cambridge University and scaled through Xampla's advanced deep-tech platform, Morro coating material combines the mechanical and barrier properties of plastic with the eco-friendly benefits of biodegradability. It mimics plastic's flexibility, moisture resistance, and durability while remaining fully compostable at the end of its life cycle.
One of the key advantages of Morro coating material is its seamless integration into existing industrial coating and printing equipment. This feature allows for easy substitution without the need for costly retooling, making it a practical and efficient solution for businesses looking to transition to more sustainable packaging options.
By decomposing naturally under composting conditions, Morro coating material eliminates the risk of microplastics or toxic residue, ensuring a clean and environmentally friendly end-of-life process. This aligns with Xampla's strategic mission to combat plastic waste by offering plant-based solutions that prioritize functionality and environmental responsibility.
