Abstract
Materials innovation company Xampla has announced a major commercial advance as Bunzl UK & Ireland added Huhtamaki’s ‘Taste’ hot food boxes with Morro Coating to its range of food service packaging.

The ‘Taste’ boxes are available now across Bunzl’s network of operating companies, delivering to national restaurant chains, transport hubs, hotels, contract caterers and stadiums across the UK and Ireland. The ‘Taste’ boxes range features an embossed Morro marque to showcase it has a barrier coating made from plants.

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. 

Katie Shaw, purchasing director at Bunzl Catering & Hospitality Division, said: "We're committed to providing our customers with food packaging solutions that team the highest standards of performance with credible sustainability attributes.

“‘Taste’ hot food boxes with Morro Coating, made from plants, are leak-proof and perfect for delivery, hot counters, and al-fresco dining. We're confident that Xampla's Morro Coating technology delivers the barrier performance our customers require in their food service operations.”
