Plastic is a remarkable material, but the planetary impact has never truly been costed. While its indestructible makeup has served a multitude of benefits, it has simultaneously eroded the health of our environment.
An ambitious UK spinout, Xampla has developed a next-generation plant-based alternative to replace single-use plastics and microplastics. The best part is the plant-protein-based plastic is simply metabolised when it hits the ocean or soil, offering a much safer end-to-life story.
Xampla CEO, Simon Hombersley caught up with our evokeAG. contributor Casey Dunn to talk about plant protein production, circular economies and what it's like building a business for a post-plastic world in 2040.
