Bunzl UK & Ireland is a leading supplier in the food service sector providing a significant platform for the introduction of Morro Coating to the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u2018Taste\u2019 boxes are available now across Bunzl\u2019s extensive network of operating companies, delivering to national restaurant chains, transport hubs, hotels, contract caterers, and stadiums across the UK and Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Crafted in the UK from responsibly-sourced papers and available in a range of sizes, the \u2018Taste\u2019 boxes range features an embossed Morro marque to showcase it has a barrier coating made from plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Classified as plastic-free under the European SUP Directive alongside rigorous in-house evaluations at Xampla, Morro Coating offers excellent grease and leak resistance while still maintaining the recyclability of the premium packaging range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This partnership follows a comprehensive evaluation of Morro Coating\u2019s performance, recyclability and its end-of-life scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Xampla\u2019s natural plant protein technology offers a scalable, drop-in alternative for manufacturers and brands navigating regulatory and environmental pressures, as well as responding to consumer demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
