REAP 2020 Start-Up Showcase: Xampla

  • November 10, 2020
  • 11:06 am

Xampla is creating edible micro plastics from pea powder

A plant-based alternative to micro plastics is being developed by Xampla. The company is currently making edible plastics but sees a bigger opportunity in creating biodegradable products from non-food crops and waste streams.

Simon Hombersley is founder of Cambridge-based Xampla, and says plant-based plastics are a major opportunity for growers: “We are currently using pea protein powder to create nutritional microcapsules and we are interested in talking to farmers and the wider supply chain about sources of pea and other protein.”
