Expanded Plant-based Materials Brands
Xampla Received $14M to Scale its Operations
Colin Smith — October 8, 2025
Xampla announced a $14 million funding round intended to accelerate commercial scaling of its Morro plant‑based materials and related product lines, including coatings, soluble films, and edible films designed as plastic‑free alternatives for packaging and single‑use applications. The company frames the investment as enabling expanded manufacturing capacity, accelerated product development, and broader market roll‑out to meet demand from consumer goods, foodservice, and personal‑care brands seeking compostable, biodegradable, and drop‑in replacements for problematic plastics.
Xampla positions its technology as rooted in natural plant polymers and university‑origin research, with applications that include paper coatings to improve recyclability, soluble films for unit‑dose products, and edible barrier layers for sachets and single‑serve packaging formats. The firm emphasizes near‑term commercialization steps such as pilot production, partner collaborations for application testing, and scaling operations to support larger volume supply agreements with brand and packaging partners.
