Xampla Ltd

Xampla Ltd, has developed and patented a new class of plant-protein-based, biodegradable material, which can replace single-use plastic in multiple commercial applications. A coated paper takeaway box is our flagship coated product, which was launched in Q2 2025 with Just Eat. These single use boxes are produced at scale and do not require any specialist ...

Brand owners are increasingly under pressure to transition from plastic to paperboard packaging in response to consumer, industry, and regulatory pressures; however, in many paperboard packaging applications (for example, single-use takeaway containers), functional and barrier coatings are required to deliver performance in use. Yet, traditional petroleum...

To be deemed to a 'probiotic' a strain must be specified, be present and alive in significant numbers in the gut, and impart a health benefit on the host. One of the challenges when administering probiotics is ensuring they can survive in product throughout product shelf-life and reach the gut in a viable state. Being able to establish specific and optima...

Microcapsules are key to delivering product performance across a wide range of applications, spanning home and personal care, agriculture, horticulture, paints, and coatings. Home and personal care products containing microcapsules include laundry detergents, fabric softeners, shampoos, lotions, creams, and deodorants. In these products, microcapsules pla...

Inspired by nature, Xampla has developed a next-generation bio-based and biodegradable material produced from plant proteins, in response to the urgent need for sustainable alternatives to plastics and synthetic polymers. By harnessing the natural ability of plant proteins to self-assemble, we have created a new class of structured protein materials with ...

Brand owners are increasingly under pressure to transition away from plastic packaging in response to consumer, industry, and regulatory factors, often opting for paper or paperboard packaging as more sustainable alternatives. However, functional and barrier coatings need to be applied to paper and paperboard to deliver performance in many applications, s...

Despite a UK government recommendation to take a supplement durin...

In 2021, 390 million tonnes of plastic were produced worldwide, of this 44% is used for packaging. Plastic packaging pollutes throughout its lifecycle, by breaking down and releasing microplastics into the environment. Under half of disposed plastic is recycled in the UK, with large amounts ending up in landfill. For single-use plastics with readily avail...

Plastic pellets ("nurdles") are the pre-production building blocks for nearly all plastic products. However, with a diameter of less than 5 mm, these tiny and lightweight particles (classed as primary microplastics) are lost at every point in the plastics supply chain (during production, transport, and manufacturing), reaching the environment even before ...
