Packaging that grows from nature

 

At Sapientia ECO, we transform leftover farm materials into protective packaging by partnering with fungi.

Our technology cultivates mushroom roots—known as mycelium—to bind hemp residues into custom shapes.

The result is a protective shell that performs like foam but comes entirely from natural ingredients.

We exist to offer businesses a regenerative alternative that shields products and heals the planet.

Reasons to Choose Mycelium Packaging

  • Simple recipe: our inserts are cultivated from just two natural inputs—hemp by-products and the fibrous roots of mushrooms.

  • Cultivated, not manufactured: instead of carving or molding foam, we let mycelium grow into the exact form you need, producing almost no waste and using very little energy.

  • No plastics or toxins: our material contains zero synthetic polymers or harmful additives; if it ends up in waterways it won’t harm wildlife.

  • Naturally insulating and moisture-resistant: the cellular structure of mycelium keeps heat and cold at bay and repels water, so your products stay protected during transport.

  • Naturally flame-retardant: the packaging resists burning because of the properties of fungal fibres and dries into a sturdy, natural casing.

  • Compostable at home: when you’ve finished using it, simply crumble the packaging into your compost or garden. Within a month or two it breaks down and enriches the soil with organic matter.

  • Made to fit and scale: whether you need a small insert for delicate electronics or a large solution for bulky items, we can tailor the shape and produce the quantity you require.
