Huhtamaki & Xampla Bring Plastic-Free Morro™ Coating to New Folded Cartonboard Range
Following a successful in-market launch in fluted, corrugated format, proven at scale with Just Eat Takeaway.com, Huhtamaki and Xampla are now testing Morro™ coating on folded cartonboard. The concept brings the same high-performance barrier credentials into a new paperboard format, supporting brands with strong plastic reduction values that still need excellent grease resistance and pack integrity. Xampla's Morro™ coating is made from natural plant polymers without chemical modification, and has been validated plastic-free by the National Physical Laboratory. It is also not subject to restrictions under the EU Single-Use Plastics Directive (SUPD). Produced using FSC®-certified papers, this new cartonboard solution is designed with dual end-of-life in mind, designed to support fibre recycling streams and, where suitable collection and processing exist, composting routes. Enquiries are welcomed for samples and trial discussions.

Xampla’s plastic-free Morro Coating enters 10 European markets in partnership with Just Eat Takeaway with new packaging range from Huhtamaki. The delivery takeaway boxes with plastic-free coating will now be available in Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, and Spain. The boxes are made by sustainable packaging solutions leader, Huhtamaki, with our world-first Morro Coating, made from natural plant proteins with no chemical modification. Designed to perform across a wide range of foods and cuisines, the packaging maintains rigidity and heat retention even with greasy or moist dishes that have traditionally been difficult to package without plastic. The boxes are fully recyclable, Single Use Plastic Directive (SUPD) compliant, and made from sustainably sourced corrugated paper. This packaging solution offers the food delivery market a high-performance plastic-free alternative to traditional takeaway boxes, typically lined with plastic or PFAS.
Morro Soluble Film
Conventional dishwasher tablets and laundry pods rely on ‘soluble’ plastic wrappings to protect them in storage or transit. Morro Soluble Film is a natural, plastic-free replacement that keeps dishwasher tablets and laundry pods ready-to-use with a more sustainable alternative.
Morro Edible Film
Flexible films are amongst the most polluting plastics on the planet. But what if you could not only replace single-use packaging, but you could eat it too? Used to wrap a whole range of products, this food grade natural packaging presents an entirely new experience for environmentally conscious consumers.
