Morro™ Soluble Film
Morro Soluble Film is a natural, plastic-free alternative to soluble plastics used in a range of every day products.
Designed to disappear naturally
Morro Soluble Film has been created to stop non-biodegradable materials entering our oceans and environment from plastic and PVOH wrapping. Our natural solution is made from plants, making it the ideal choice for homecare products such as dishwasher and laundry tabs as well as personal care cargoes including shower gel and shampoo. Morro Soluble Film is completely plastic-free and fully biodegradable in all environments ensuring nothing harmful is left behind.
How does Morro™ Soluble Film work
How can Morro™ Soluble Film be used?
What is PVOH?
Morro Soluble Film is a natural material made from plants. It protects products, such as dishwasher tablets and laundry pods, in transit and storage to ensure that they’re ready to use when they reach the hands and homes of customers. Morro Soluble Film can be easily dissolved in hot or cold water after use as well as dissolving in the presence of surfactants or high pH. This eradicates the need for single use plastic sachets as well as other soluble packaging films that won’t fully biodegrade if they leak into the natural environment.
Morro Soluble Film has been used for a variety of different products to help reduce plastic waste. Our plastic-free film is compatible with low-water content products. We have tested with laundry pods and dishwasher tablets on standard flow-wrap machinery. Our Soluble Film can also eradicate the need for sample or single-use sachets in beauty and cosmetics for shampoo, shower gel, cleansing balm and more.
Polyvinyl alcohol is often referred to as PVOH, PVA, or PVAl. It is water soluble polymer that is often used for film packaging including dishwasher tablet wrapping. PVA is frequently referred to as biodegradable, however, the conditions necessary for complete biodegradation of PVA or PVOH are extremely specific.
More plastic than fish
will be in our oceans by 2050.
A truly circular solution
Case study: Elemis
Beginning of life is often just as important as ‘end of life’ when it comes to packaging. Xampla’s partnership with Elemis highlights how we can improve circularity by upcycling the leftover plant protein from borage used in the product.
