What we like about Xampla: Their bio-based material composts more quickly than PHA or PLA. They’re focused on water-soluble sachet replacements for laundry pods and edible wrapper films for food.
Pea Protein Bags, Sachets and Films
Made from pea-protein, modeled after spider silk. Mass production available around 2025.
-
Smooth, plastic-feeling plant protein material with total clarity available.
-
Xampla’s bioplastic is derived from pea protein — a renewable resource — instead of fossil fuels which are not renewable. While it’s still in development, we presume that they will seek home compostable certifications.

While it’s still in development, we presume that they will seek home compostable certifications. They’ve already produced films that are water soluble and edible.

Bioplastics look and feel like traditional plastic. Proper disposal information should be an important part of the design so that they don't end up in the wrong waste stream.
If composting is the best case scenario, it's good to let customers know that if they can't compost it, that it's best if the plastic is reused or thrown in with the trash. Tossing bioplastic in with recycling just adds an extra step on the way to landfill.
You could consider a takeback program. If you can work with an industrial composter that accepts bioplastic, you can bulk compost your packaging on behalf of customers.
